Ideal Development Machine Specifications

[Eric BATUT]

Hi <p>I'm sorry to post this question here, I just wasn't able to find a suitable answer elsewhere. <p>What is the actual (read : verifiable and/or presented in a report) gain in synthesis/p&amp;r/map times and general usability of the ISE toolchain that can be achieved from using a dual-CPU modern PC (read : 3 GHz Pentium IV running under WinXP Pro) ? <p>Is there actually something to gain from purchasing a second CPU (since the machine itself is bi-processorable) ? <p>The typical device targetted device during development is a XC2V6000, so RAM will have to be in the 2/3 Gb range, but I'm especially interested in the CPU issue : 1 or 2 ? <p>Thanks in advance to whoever might have an answer to this... <p>Eric

Thanks a lot to everyone for the various advices. <p>For the techie lovers out there, the video car will be a NVidia Quadro 4 280 NVS with dual-screen output and DVI adapters, for the two Eizo 19" LCD screens. <p>And yes, I'm drooling while I'm writing this... <p>Once again, thanks a lot, and have a nice day... <p>Eric
