I'm hoping those of you who have been working with Revit for a while could please give me some pointers on purchasing a new machine.
Let's say I was looking to put together a production machine that 95% of its purpose is to run AutoCAD 2006 and Revit Building 8. Let's also say this machine has to last about 3-4 years.
What parts of it should be maxxed-out to get the most speed out of Revit?
Does a large amount of RAM (~4Gb) affect the speed more than a fast processor?
Would a dual-core chip have any use?
Aside from rendering, does a 256Mb video card make a large difference in how Revit runs?
Without going crazy, what would you put into your machine for this use?
Any insight would be much appreciated.
Thank you!

Try this 'http://www.revitcity.com/forums.php?action=viewthread&thread_id=1556'
On www.augi.com (first register, it's free) find revit forums, you can find 'hardware' and everything you want.
My opinion, buy best you can in each category, if buget allow. Revit don't use 'dual core' but Accurender does.
Min 2 gb ram, graphics card is less important, that money put on processor and memory, only if you work with large models, best motherboard, hdd in raid, ...
Good luck

"And try configuration with more then one monitors, it is much easier to work in two monitors"
What kind of PC hardware requirements will enable revit in 2 or more monitors? of course, I know we need at least 2 monitors...& btw, please elaborate more on the system configuration if possible.
really can feel the possible performance improvement by working in 2 monitors as we draw in plan view and another pc shows us the 3D.
Thanks in advance,

Nothing special, N6600 GT, I use Gainward and works fine, with two LCD 19". If you use better LCD you have 1600x1200 and that is much nicer, but more money.
I think if you use two cards (SLI) you can use 4 monitors, I didn't try it's theory
