I am thinking about purchasing a laptop and can get a good deal right now through my company but it will only come with a 64mb ATI Radeon x300 video card. The laptop would be for personal use and I would more than likely only use it for very basic solidworks tasks, like trying out new stuff in new releases, I would not be doing any new projects.
Anybody have any comments about this card or about the fact that it is only 64mb? I think it would be ok but wanted to check.
Thanks,
Sam
Personally, I shy away from Radeon for SW. Search this NG for that term and read all the comments, then decide if it's still a deal that you can't live without.

For what its worth - I am running a Pentium D 2.8 w/ 2 GB and an ATI X300 with 128 desktop. This is used for single solid bodies with few if any assemblies. I have swapped out the video card for the x700 and a GeForce
6600 GT and promptly returned both. There was little if any difference. It isnt the fastest card in the world but for simpler work it seems to be acceptable.
