PC configuration for best Xilinx ISE performance

Hello,

I want to buy a new PC and I will use it mainly for Xilinx ISE. What is
the best configuration? Does Xilinx ISE support Intel Core Duo or AMD
Athlon 64 processors?

Regards.

Get a cpu with as much as possible L1 and secondarly L2 cache. Lot's of
ordinary DRAM helps too ofcourse.

What I've read SMP doesn't make any huge difference.
(Maybe one could produce some makefile that splits the process in parallell
 pieces?)
