more dead links
half the links to the cadence website are broken. I don't want to delete them - perhaps someone can replace them with more up to date links? Other links also require log on and they don't work Subheight640 14:52, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Dead link
During several automated bot runs the following external link was found to be unavailable. Please check if the link is in fact down and fix or remove it in that case!

Very Notable
I'm an electrical engineering student. This is not only very industry-standard software, but it is required for all electrical engineering students at most all universities. i think we might not want to be so quick to claim that it's not noteworthy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.226.103.192 (talk) 03:49, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

The idea that this article be non-notable is absolute rubbish. this product has an active user community, check Google for pspice "user group". 99.231.208.23 (talk) 16:56, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

I fully agree that PSPice is VERY important to students and experimenters. It is NOT an ad and must not be deleted. Please confirm the subject matter with users before passing judgment on Wikipedia entries.

Requested move
Not only is "PSpice" the proper capitalization &mdash; it's a registered trademark of Cadence - see e.g. this page.

Since there already is a page named "PSpice", I can't move this page ("PSPICE") myself. DmitTrix (talk) 17:38, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Separate Section for PSpice 9.1
I'd like to add a separate section for PSpice 9.1 if I may ? PSpice used to be a very important teaching tool for Electronics Engineering before ORCAD bought out the software and made it Proprietary. Today most technical universities host their own copy of PSpice 9.1 - which was the last free version, and which is what students typically use. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.237.78.154 (talk) 04:39, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Terrible article
I used PSpice for a number of years during university, therefore have some knowledge of the tool. This article is terrible on a number of fronts - the Hinglish is completely broken and nonsensical in many places; much of the article refers directly to SPICE history (which should be in a separate article as PSpice is a commercial implementation of SPICE); the information to run PSpice refers to the DOS command line (modern PSpice is a fully interactive GUI that doesn't need DOS mode); the limitations are incorrect (for example, PSpice supports monte-carlo analysis and does not require the user to edit circuit components to achieve "interactive" simulation). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.156.132.212 (talk) 06:04, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
