Autodesk inventor on this PC?

[TheMastr13]

Could Autodesk inventor run (and run well) on a PC with the following specs?

Core 2 duo E4500

8gb Kingston RAM

Radeon HD R5 230

500gb seagate barracuda

I know it fits the sytem requirements, but I want to know how it will do in a real world scenario.

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. Our school runs the program on some 2nd gen i3s and they run fine, so I was kind of hoping that it would run kind of close to that.

Yeah, our school runs some stupid i5 and 16 gigs of RAM

still tryin to figure out what the specs are haha

Well your system will be fine. Nothing special. Though when working in inventor hdd are not good when working on bigger project. The computers at my school runs with about the same hardware. Some amd 780 gpu, Pentium/i3 (don't remember) some shitty hdd and 8gb of ram and we can work fine on our "minor" projects.

Our school is kind of stupid about there PCs. They have some good Dell Precisions with 6-core Xeons (I forget which one), 16 gigs of ram, 1tb HDD, and some AMD graphics card (couldn't figure out which one, just opened up the computer and Radeon was printed on the side

On the other hand, they still have Optiplex 755's in the library. Core 2 duo, 1gb ram, 120gb HDD, and some random GPU.

I have this PC lying around, and have no use for it at the moment. I'm gonna put it to use now

Yeah, I'm not going to be doing anything major. Hopefully it'll get me by for a few years until my MacBook dies and I get a Windows laptop

you could try to put a core 2 quad in there.

Which one? Q6600?

My concern is the cooler. It's in an old dell, so the only cooler that fits is the Intel one

at minimum, q6600. but i think the stock one will be fine, since even at like 3ghz oc, it runs at only like 30c.

Wow, that sounds great. I think I can get a q6600 pretty cheap of craigslist here

The school I went to ran it on the lowest ed core 2 duo with 1GB of DDR2 RAM
