HFSS System Requirement...

[bijus]

Hello all,
I am planning to upgrade my PC. Can anybody tell me that Intel processor "I7" is compatible with HFSS version 11.
I think "I7" is 64 bit processor.
Thanks & Regards.

I7 is not a 64bits processor but it's got 4 cores,so it can be used with 64bits OS.
For HFSS ,the memory is important.For large and complex designs, you'd better use 16GB or more memory.(Of course with 64bits OS)
But if you have more money, you may buy a workstation equippped with Xeon E series processors.They may have 6 cores and very suitable high perfomance computations.
AMD Opterons are also alternatives..
