HI All Been a while since I posted hope you've been keeping well.
Looking to upgrade to SW2008 but I'm being told that my 128MB NVIDIA Quadro 980 XGL are not really up to the job. (Shame I've really liked them they've been a great work horse to us over the last 3 years) I know solidworks list recomended graphics cards but just wanted to see who's running SW2008 sucessfully in the real world and what cards they're using. We've 12 seats on 2.8Ghz PC's, 2GB RAM used for plastic component/ sheetmetal design and max 5000 part assemblies and we do currently use photoworks. So any real world experience of suitable graphics cards for SW2008 greatly appreciated.
The hardwares do for an upgrade as well. Was thinking of going 64 bit XP, our IT dept recently upgraded our MRP system and its now Web based and really RAM hungry (using tab browsing helped a little, shame IT didnt know about that little gem until we pointed it out to them), and you guessed it we normally need to have both apps open. So I thought
64bit might enable us to crank up the RAM. So any one with experience of 64 bit Xp and Solidworks, advice also greatly appreciated. regards Ken
