I'm looking for opinions on whether this Dell optiplex 9020 will run Civil 3D 2014, shall I say, reasonably or fairly well. I know it's not going to be the best. But we've been offered them on a take it or leave it basis. The only change I'll be allowed to make is more RAM. So it will have at least 16GB. I know this exceeds the min. specs. for the program. I also know that those specs. are only good enough to open the program and do the tutorials.
So I really need to know if there is any reason this just wont work. I can't get a different model, I can't add a better video card or a SSD. We either take these as replacement for our Dell Precision T690s & T720s running XP or we don't get the upgrades. I have to say yes or no. If I say yes then I can't come back and say oops we really can't use them. They're not the most expensive machines in the world but we'd be getting 6. So it's a bit of an investment.
My opinion is that they will run C3D 2014 reasonably well unless it's a fairly large project.

Thank you. It looks like our best course is to try it and see. At least we'll dump XP.
