Ive had inlab for nearly two years now and I'm growing tired of the excessive wait time between steps on larger cases. I've been considering scrapping the Patterson computer that it came with and starting over, and I was wondering if any of you have had any successes with any of these upgrades, or any other changes that have worked for you.
Dual/quad core processors?
Upgrade to NVIDIA Quadro FX or ATI Fire GL workstation video card?
64-bit Windows to allow for more that 3gb recognized RAM?
Solid-state disk instead of standard HDD?
The Patterson PC is running a Pentium 4 with dual channel 2.8gb of recognized ram, (4gb installed) and an NVIDIA 8800GTS card. It's good from 1-3 units, but beyond that, it's slow. ...Especially when adding occlusal overlays and antagonist scans. I'm working with them on replacing this machine since it was outdated before we even got it.
Thank you for any input you may have!
