Optimized PC Design has been getting more and more industry buzz. In addition to articles you may have seen quoted in the Optimized PC live webinar event, the Optimized PC approach has also been featured in Popular Science and Walter Mossberg's Personal Tech column in the Wall Street Journal:

“…if you are choosing Vista, or if you do a lot of converting video for use on portable devices, consider getting a laptop with a separate video card inside that has its own memory...   ...Any dual-core processor will be fine. Don’t pay a penny extra for faster processor speed.”
Walter Mossberg - Consider Your Needs, Then Use This Guide to Buying a Laptop, April 10, 2008

“But in some cases, the GPU makes a big difference. 3D video games are a given, but intensive graphics are creeping into many other applications.”

NVIDIA Quadro Graphics Maximizes AutoCAD productivity
Until now, to maintain maximum productivity AutoCAD® design professionals have had to sacrifice their ability to interact with intuitive and realistic 3D designs, relying on wire frame or simplified representations of their models when using a consumer graphics solution. As a result, design decisions are often made based on less precise information.

Now, with AutoCAD 2008/09, designers can leverage the capabilities of NVIDIA® Quadro® professional-class GPUs to incorporate high-quality, 3D models into their work flow. The partnership of NVIDIA® and Autodesk has delivered a certified hardware-software solution that enables designers to create and interact with more complex product designs, achieving maximum productivity without sacrificing visual quality.
