Hi - we use SW2007 in our UK based Medical Product design consultancy,
looking to upgrade to 2008.
We will need to replace our aging PC's with something newer, but our budget
is tight.
Some of the new Dell Vostro machines look tempting for the price - and come
with nVidia GeForce8600 256Mb Graphics Cards
nVidia market the GeForce range for games and photo apps, and the Quadro
for CAD
Solidworks website review of graphics cards recommends nVidia's Quadro range
of cards - smaller Geforces have been run, but with limitations
Does anyone have experience of running Solidworks on an nVidia GeForce
Card??, and any opinions of choosing windows Vista or sticking with XP?
My home computer has a GeForce 256Mb card and I can hardly open
SoliWorks on it. You should definately go for a Quadro card, and stick
with XP for the time being...or see thread from Oct 1 (SolidWorks and
Vista)

The PC I use for SW 2006 has geforce fx5500 card but I'm replacing it
shortly with a new PC fitted with Quadro fx1500 card. Advice given to
me from both PC vendor and reseller was go for Quadro.
