| Mar 28, 2012 at 17:58 | comment | added | Kirk Kuykendall | Make sure your graphics card is OpenGL compatible. See Esri's help doc on "Which graphics card should I buy?". | |
| Mar 28, 2012 at 16:39 | comment | added | whuber | An alternative take on RAM is to get as much RAM capacity as you can afford but--because ArcGIS currently cannot use much at all--leave it unpopulated. RAM prices drop so precipitously that it can make sense to purchase it only when it's actually needed. | |

| Mar 27, 2012 at 21:23 | comment | added | Mapperz♦ | Get as much RAM as you can afford. ESRI Desktop can only run one thread per application - so if had an 8 core processor only one would be utilized per app. Though get a fast Intel processor i5/i7 second generation, but can get expensive > cpubenchmark.net/… | |
