I am looking to upgrade my workstation finally. either looking at a dell precision M90 or a M6300. It looks like the M90 has a better graphics card, Nvidia fx 2500 with 512 ram, and the m6300 comes with a fx1600 216 ram.

I will be using solidworks 06, XP pro. any help is welcome.

thanks

steve

I think the major difference between the M90 and the M6300 is as you stated the graphics card. The M6300 I think was developed with Vista in mind, and the FX1600 is DX10 while the FX2500 is DX9.

I have the M90 and am using it with IV and it works fantastic

I just noticed on the Dell website that the FX1600 is coming with 512mb of RAM on the M6300. Maybe you want to check your specs again.

I like the M90, but it is now an older model. They only draw back is that it is heavy. Otherwise, this is an awesome system.

ended up with the m90. they are on sale from dell for 1250 w/ the fx 2500M and 80 G HD. i also bought 4 Gigs of ram for 120! i opt'd for the 100G HD for 10 bucks.

free shipping as well!

no free monitor though... cant get everything.
