Internet connectivity for license registration and prerequisite component download OK.

Download or installation from DVD9 or USB key OK.

So, until all monitors are touch w/ pens these Cintiq's are awesome!

Note: I also use a Wacom Cintiq 22 at home, so if you can afford one of those (I can't mine was a gift) it's a great 3rd (or 5th -) Monitor as well as being an Interactive drawing surface.

Wacom Intous5 Touch Large Pen Tablet (This replaces my mouse!!! -except for that pesky scroll wheel).

3Dconnexion Space Navigator for travel,.

3Dconnexion Space Pilot Pro or Space Mouse Pro for daily work.MS-Mouse or 3Dconnexion-compliant device -I suggest the following:.Internet Explorer 7 (or later) Yeah that will happen since it's built into Microsoft Windows, though I use Mozilla Firefox primarily.The ADSK 'Recommended' ones may be OK but then again, maybe not. See this link to find 'Certified' Graphics cards, etc.Also only 5GB of free space? Hahaha -if you only have 5 free GB of space you need some help -or a new SSD!!!

It's 2013 now and we should think of 16 GB being the base amount for Workstations, but 32GB or 64GB are my recommendations! 128GB seems a bit costly for average projects and users but those who do large projects should really fight for 128GB.Д¬reated in previous versions of Revit software products may require Model up to approximately 700 MB on disk.

Multiple cores for many tasks, up to 16 cores for near-photorealistic rendering operations Yes! 16 cores!!!.

Multicore Xeon or i-Series processor or AMD equivalent with SSE2 technology (highest affordable CPU speed rating recommended) -Can't agree more, this is where the bulk of $$$ should go!.

Windows 8 64-bit Enterprise or Professional edition, or Windows 7Д¦4-bit Enterprise, Ultimate, Professional, or Home Premium edition OK, say goodbye to Vista64!!!.
