      @technobabble Oh, believe me, I know! In the early days of NTG we had a few really small clients, who just didn't get it.

        This is the niche that I have been working IT in for 10 years.

          CAD/CAM

          I would get an HP Z series for something like that.

            @technobabble doe these all in one boxes have display port? if so, those can be split quite effectively.

            The modern on board video cards are not always horrible.

            I am assuming you already tried it and it failed though.

              It's not about more connections. Its because they wanted to run CAD programs on integrated graphics which isn't going to work well. if at all.

                That they are integrated is really not an issue. Integrated can often outperform many discreet cards.

                Really depends on the integrated and the card.

                  I believe it only has HDMI out but the Dell AIO locks up every 3 minutes.

                    I am sure that is the case most times. However the programs spec sheet says not to use integrated cards, especially the Intel 4000 and AMD APUs, which is why I started the thread.

                      That's just one of those things that people state without technical reason. It's not for IT people to read. It's like how ERP programs say you can't virtualize and they need RAID 5 when, of course, it should always be virtualized and never have RAID 5. It is purely about performance and what they state is irrelevant. Sure, the best outcome is not with integrated cards, but poor planning of discrete cards will be even worse.

                      Performance is all that matters. Measure that before spending big.

                        Oh, I get that. And funny you should mention visualization. They specifically state that it will cause the program to run poorly.

                          20/20 is a program that kitchen designers use to create the look and the blueprint for the job. (something like that)
