> So the boss picked this card up for me at circuit city. I will see how it works, he liked the price so I really had no say in it. The cards Autodesk recommends are extremely expensive $500 plus, I really hope this one works, My assembly’s never jump over 50 pieces and they are pretty small. Not to mention the only reason we got Inventor is because we got a good deal on it when in reality regular mechanical would have been just fine.

that card should do great man :tup: let us know how it works (get a baseline with your old hardware first)… I’m curious actually.

edit. Jay, when you install it, make sure your power supply in the computer is atleast a 350watter. It will probably work with smaller, but it could lead to problems down the road
