Re: Altium Summer 08
Yes 2GB or more is good. I believe you would probably be looking at $5-15k depending on the options you get. Contact their sales, they will give you a more accurate price.
Re: Altium Summer 08
You can email Altium any feature requests that you may have. It would probably help if a competing software has the feature you are requesting as that would make it more likely for them to implement the feature.
As far as the translator taking a long time, it must have...
If its a 2 layer board, try to pour ground copper if you can't do that then make sure the traces are thick. Going 4 layers with a ground plane would be recommended but its not necessary for all designs.

- The minimums would be 2Ghz processor, 1 Gig of Ram, so so video card.
I would recommend at a Core 2 Duo/Quad processor, 2 Gigs of Ram, and a good video card. Most important thing would be the video card, then ram, then processor. This is one of the bad things about...
Re: Auto routing
It is usually not a good idea to auto route the whole board.
If you prefer to auto route. First route all clock and critical signals manually and lock them. Then let the auto-router route the non-critical signals.
IMO auto-routers are good for routing memory patterns but...
I recommend you have your board house do the panelization for you. Ask your assembler first what they want, then relay that info to the board house. Most board houses will panelize the PCB for you.
altium windows 64-bit
-It is officially released
-Its not any faster, the interactive router is better, but no changes to the auto-router
-There aren't any changes as far as high-speed design is concerned except for the accordion feature in interactive routing.
-3D in PCB is nice, IMO I think...
