How long does it take to load IV, to were it is asking you to enter a file
name? Other than more memory for working on your models, the biggest kicker
is a slow hard driver and poor transfer rates. Good chance that the HD you
have is only spinning at 5400 rpm. If you can afford SCSI320 go for it, if
not then at least dual SATA in RAID will help you out. I will load IV11 cold
start including logging into CC in 20 seconds, if I don't log in to CC, the
load time is 14 seconds. It has nothing to do with processor speed, its all
about read and data transfer. After 3GHz on the processor you really don't
notice any performace difference, hold off on X64 for at least a year, as
much ram and Nvidia card as you wallet permits. At least now with IV11
supporting 3D, there won't be as much pressure to use OpenGL Nvidia cards
(we think) although OpenGL is still faster.

Personally I dislike Dell or any equivalents. I have always had
problems with factory systems.
My Older System:
P4 3.0GHz
2GB Ram
~500 gigs storage, 7200 RPM SATA
MSI Motherboard
nVidia 6800 video card
400W PSU
My Newer System:
P4 3.2 GHz
2GB Ram
Somewhere between 800-900 gigs in storage. Terabyte, I am creeping up
on you. 7200 RPM SATA
MSI P4N Diamond Motherboard
2x nVidia 7800 GT in SLI
600W PSU
Inventor runs smooth on both systems, don't have any significant
performance problems.
System I currently have in planning:
AMD / P4....clock speed not yet decided. Still fighting the AMD /
Intel battle. Tempted to try out AMD for once.
4GB Ram
Gonna go beat 1 terabyte on this one...thinking of going with a solid
state disk for my operating system / software drive if the cost isn't
too exceedingly expensive.
Motherboard will be MSI but depend on what processor I go with.
2x SLI whatever latest nVidia has got to offer.
PSU sized accordingly to this whole mess, guessing at a minimum 600W
again maybe more.
Oh and both CPU and GPUs watercooled. I am tired of having an F-16
running underneath my desk.
