Sid,
If the app is cpu/memory intensive, you might want to consider an AMD
64 system. If this is commercial design software, check how it is
licensed. Many commercial design apps require a licence key to be
checked out while in use. If you only have 1 key, only 1 user could use
the software at a time.
Thanks,
Dale
