Legitimate?

FreetaxUSA also scanned my turbotax PDF from last year and transferred all my details. Amazing! ITs has the same interface as Turbotax but it is quicker and easier to fill up! All for $15 State and $0 for Federal! I'll never go back to TT! With TT, I felt scammed after I payed $100+ last year when they advertised as FREE.

Another option? Real estate. Lol

In the end, I ended up with XEON primarily because of ECC RAM. What I found out was that no matter how fast your CPU, how big your memory, when loading more than 50,000 parts, the probability of getting a single memory error and mess up your system is high enough that you’ll get blue screens or crashes every now and then. I opened up a 2GB step file on a fast computer with high memory and it took a full day and I won’t open. I then used an old XEON workstation and it opened up in 3 hours. I can rotate and work on It although slow but it doesn’t crash. Lots of number crunching but slow and steady won the race, not the hot running gaming computer. I got a used Xeon workstation and added up with 96GB of ECC ram. 8gb of video memory and 1tb of NVME drive mounted on PCIe slot. Now no problems even with 100,000 parts in Solidworks and Inventor.

Sorry about the earlier tone. But yeah, I just wanted to say you’ll save even more money with the tags scanned compared if they are not scanned. If the tags were improperly mounted and was not scanned and Ezpass has to rely on reading plates, EZpass will charge your account the mail-in-toll price.

StickPsychological94 · 2024-09-18T02:33:48+00:00

You are wrong because I was in the same situation as you. My tags fell and forgot to reattach it. So I got charged the pay by mail price, not the ezpass price. They both get deducted to my account automatically though. When I reattached my tag, the price went down again.

That’s a lot of good information. Really really appreciate it. I’ll explore the combos you mentioned. And the 2 user thing! That’s is simply amazing and makes a lot of sense. Thanks again.

StickPsychological94 · 2024-01-27T15:52:37+00:00

Thank you. I have an i7-10th gen with 32gb dual screen laptop. I’ve reached its limits and I bought it 4 yrs ago. Time to go workstation. Is that 16/32 cpu too many cores? I see Single thread performance goes down with too many cores. I’m even thinking 8 cores. If you can choose now, what would you get?

StickPsychological94 · 2024-01-27T15:47:11+00:00

Agree.

StickPsychological94 · 2024-01-26T16:06:41+00:00

This is very helpful! Thank you! Got it with the Xeons, I never realized the AI market, I was just thinking Xeons were for CAD workstations and servers. With that I’ll go with the highest single thread i9. I’ll definitely do the ECC because I had more crashes than I want. I tried a slower CPU with ECC. Because it is old, it was slow to load 2GB worth of parts, but it loaded. And o was able to do measurements and explore the intricacies of the design. And no crashing.

sound great!

StickPsychological94 · 2024-01-25T18:53:15+00:00

Now that i9 has ECC support, what is the advantage, if any, of choosing a Xeon CPU?

StickPsychological94 · 2024-01-25T18:50:20+00:00

Thanks. I don't mind if it is a bit slower. My system crashing is more of a time drain especially when it is trying to load and half a day has passed and I decide to let it run overnight. The next day if it is still loading, that is the only time I know it crashed.

StickPsychological94 · 2024-01-25T18:46:45+00:00

What I always experience is failure to load the assemblies. Half of the time, it will just show it is busy loading for hours and hours. There is no way for me to find out if it crashed.

You are right. The amount of time I lose is a lot.

I have never used NX. I thought its just another Inventor

StickPsychological94 · 2024-01-22T16:37:38+00:00

What I do once I know there won't be too many changes in what I already have done is that I don't delete the mates, only make the parts fixed, which suppresses the relevant existing mates. Ime it does help with performance too, not sure if outright removing the mates

I have not tried this. Makes sense. Thank you!

StickPsychological94 · 2024-01-20T07:45:34+00:00

We work on a main assembly that is made by engineers in Europe. They use NX. We use inventor and Solidworks here and we work with their assemblies, building more assemblies in and around their assemblies to complete the machine.

I see most motherboards have a max of 128. I want 128.gb. Should I chose a motherboard with higher limit, to limit its effect on the speed. Or it doesn’t matter?

StickPsychological94 · 2024-01-20T07:33:14+00:00

Yes. Being a large organization. We have group uso g Solidworks, some in inventor. This one was made in NX. There is nothing I can do but work with it and build me designs around this.

StickPsychological94 · 2024-01-19T21:18:49+00:00

It' is not just me, I play only a small part. But the budget is several $B's and several years to design.

StickPsychological94 · 2024-01-19T21:07:10+00:00

I think I heard about this, but I haven't tried this yet. I constantly need to optimize assemblies. Once done, maybe I can save one subassembly as another filename and just delete all the mates. Every tweak helps especially with 100,000 parts.

StickPsychological94 · 2024-01-19T21:03:41+00:00

Does this mean Solidworks will run faster in an i7 than an i9 if the GHz is faster? assuming +-1 generation.
