Hello all,

I am new to Rhino 3D.

I have a Imac 2010, with OS high Sierra - just upgraded.
I am enrolled in Rhino1 at the newschool just started Saturday, the instructor stated that he teaches Rhino 5 for windows and that I should return the Rhino for Mac version as the keys are different and since I am new it would be very confusing to me.

I have written to the instructor as well and am waiting to hear back from him, about whether I should get Rhino 5 or 6, since 6 is out now. The problem is that I found the first class very difficult, because it is so different than a Mac computer.

My questions are:
-Do I need to get the windows version or should I stick with the Mac version?, or both?
-If I do get the windows version should I get the 6 or 5?,
-What else would I need if I were to get the windows version for my Mac?, one of my co workers recommended - fusion for Mac.
-Is there anything else I should get or know.

Many Thanks,
Judy

I went looking on ebay for a Nvidia Quadro K4200 display adapter for it’s cuda rating and bought this to get it: BOXX Technologies, Inc. 3DBOXX W4150XT-V2.
with a 4 GHZ Asus Gryphon Z97 motherboard but no hard drive or memory (Perfect!) onto which I installed 32 GB Ram. I’ve got my eye on a Asus TUF GAMING B760M-PLUS to make way for Windows 11, but as of this date (June 29/2024) I don’t see a PCIe 5.0 video card with a cuda >= 12.0, which is necessary to run a OpenFOAM module.
