PT,

I have been using an Athlon 650 for CAD/FEA for 4 months or so. For CAD I use SolidWorks and for FEA I use COSMOS. It is extremely stable and fast. Recently My co-worker got a Coppermine 667 from Micron. We run thermal FEA (HStar module) on the exact same model on both computer and mine did in about 20 minutes less. (2:10 hours Vs. 1:50). There is no doubt that for FEA Athlon is substantially faster. For CAD, I think they should be about the same and I think either one is more than fast enough.

I highly recommend the Athlon for your CAD/FEA applications.
