3DS & ATI cards
We've had problems with AutoCAD as well. As far as as the "clean" function
goes, we've told people to issue the occasional regen command (always a popular
suggestion on large dwgs <g>)
which I suspect includes a clean routine. As far as the RAM goes, as I
understand it, it's not that your machine can't use all of it, it's the memory
aperture feature of the graphics card that has to be disabled in ISA systems
with 16Mb or more becase 16's the limit an ISA I/O bus can handle.
How do the Number 9 GXEs compare in price to the ATI cards? I may have some
influence in buying hardware for our firm but someone else holds the purse <g>.
