I am looking into purchasing a dedicated lidar processing computer. What are peoples' current recommendations in terms of system specs (RAM, CPU, # of cores, etc.)? Thanks.

Hello
If you have the cash as Xeon CPU would be better as you can put more memory.
I have a Intel extreme CPU with 6 cores an 12 thread. 64GB of memory (the max memory on a Intel i7). The biggest boost comes from the pciE SSD. I would get an x99 MB.

If cost is no concern, the new MacPro cylinder running windows boot camp is most impressive. These run anywhere from $3k to 10k fully stacked.

Hi,
I agree with Brian on the CPU and SSD being more important than the GPU. The EVO is a nice drive but if you have the cash, the OCZ SSD that plugs into the PCIe video card bus is very fast and big (1GB).
I you don't want to invest in a Xeon now, you can buy an X99 MB that will take the Intel extreme. Later, you can change it for a 32core Xeon. The memory will have to be changed also when you swop the CPU. Going second hand in a few years will save you lots of cash on those big Xeons...
