AMD Processor support?

[meld_b]

I'm looking to build a system that may someday run Pro/E... I see that
AMD isn't on PTC's website under Platform support. Does this mean I
should stay on the Intel side of the world?

What does "de-certified" really mean on the graphics cards? PTC found an
issue, or what?

No. If a CPU runs windows, it runs Pro/E. Certification means very
little - except that PTC will become involved with troubleshooting (aka
blaming the manufacturer) when a bug is found.

It's old.
If you search this group's archives at
http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search you can find what low cost
cards run Pro/E well. I suggest nVidia.

Thanks! The hotline said essentially the same thing... although they
have to say "It will probably run - but we can't support you if you have
a problem"

Neat to know about this group search... Although it really has to be
reined-in to keep it from telling me about Sun Creator 3D graphics cards
and 8M $300 cards from yesteryear.
