Hi everybody,
I'm looking to buy a new computer for using Corel Draw X5, I've found on the web an HP workstation with an interesting price, I only find in the details the RAM is "unbuffered" and "not ECC". Can I have some problem working with Corel Draw X5? and then when I will work with X7?
I'm really not expert about hardware, can anyone help me
Thanks

The memory question is explained at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Registered_memory but I don't think it will prevent any software from working.
You should also note that X5 is not designed to run on windows 8, which most off-the-shelf computers will now have. It is (so I understand) possible to make it work in windows 8 using a compatibility mode, so you should be able to get it to work. But you will not get much help if it does not, and should consider the possibility that you might need to upgrade X5 sooner than you intended.
Thanks Harry.
I'm trying to understand something more through your interesting wiki link.
The PC I'm buying has Windows 8.1 with the downgrade to win7 so Corel X5 works and I can change to win 8 when I will buy X7.
I know the software can work with this kind of RAM.
I would like only to know if Corel Draw can work well with this kind of RAM, I would not to have some unexpected error while working...
Thanks again
The upgrade from Windows 8 back to windows 7 is I understand it is not easy to do -- it only gives you a licence key to use with windows 7, but not actually give you the software that you need to install it.
But I'm sure the RAM is not a problem. I've not heard of anybody having a problem with specific RAM in CorelDraw (or any other software, for that matter).
The PC has Windows 8.1 but there is already installed the Windows 7 Pro downgrade. So I think it should be ok.
Many thanks for your info about the RAM
