What should I be using???

I don't know if this is the right place to be posting this but, What would you guys recomend for a system? We are currently running a 1.8Ghz P4 with 512 of PC133 Ram (yes I know that is min) and a GeForce2 MX400 (We have a GEforce4 ti4600 on the way). We are doing progressive tool and die work along with some machine designing. Anywhere from 20 to 200 details. I think I am hiting a wall with this machine.( Well I am pretty darned sure of it...just have to convince our IT guy that we are) It takes a good 15-20 seconds for any part that I add to my assembly or change I make to the assembly to compile and update. Any thing you guys could tell me would be appreciated.

Thanks

If you are dealing with the size of assemblies that
I think you are dealing with, sounds like a dual Pentium processor would be
ideal.

Max out on the memory.

It has more impact than a faster
processor.

Set a 2 gig swap min/max, bigger as diminishing
returns

Worked for me

Also what I have done lately is;

Installed Norton Sysytem Works and have been using
Utilities Speed Disc.

I placed first all the files from
Autodesk\Inventor6\bin

Defrag daily (I set it at 3:00 am)

According to my recent experience, cpu clock and
fast RAM is the most important thing with IV. Just make sure that your graphic
card is certified.

Before you add more PC133 ram, repalce PC133 with faster ram,if your mother board can use it.
