Darcy 1Gig ram is definitely needed, and the whole package is *much* better with dual monitors though not essential. (pretty cheap these days though) P3 2.6G should be plenty enough though. The minimum req are pretty realistic for people purchasing new equipment IMHO.

Hey Guys, Thanks for all the replies on AD and 99SE. I've now got an evaluation license of AD running and I'm fairly impressed with some of the feature improvements. I can't say I'm looking forward to the learning curve though. So far, AD seems to run on my desktop (P3 2.6G, 1G Ram) fairly well. However, the minimum system requirements seem pretty stiff and the recommended system requirements are almost ridiculous. IME, you usually need better-than-recommended resources to get good performance. Does anybody have a feel for whether this is the case with AD? Or will the minimum system requirements give us acceptable performance? If we have to upgrade several machines, the cost of upgrade is obviously higher than initially thought. We only do schematic capture, pcb layout, and some 3D mechanical stuff, so we're not using some of the obviously resource intensive functionality like circuit simulation. Again, your knowledge and experience is appreciated.

Hi Darcy, As others have said, no problem, I have had 2.8, 99SE, DXP2004 SP2 and AD SP3 all running fine. I don't share the designs files as a rule, I have a separate image of my files for each version.
