Hi,
We used to work with Hp D530 pc's with Nvidia FX500 AGP boards. These cards were good and also solidworks started within a few (2) seconds. Now we have Hp Dc7100 pc's with Nvidia FX540 PCI Express videoboards, and solidworks starts up only after 25 to 30 seconds. I was wondering if this is normal with an pci express card and was wondering in general how long it may take to launch solidworks 2006 with these cards. We allready flashed and upgraded every driver, but so far no luck. With the onboard videoboard solidworks starts within 2 seconds.
I hope any one can give advice on this, because it's very irritating that it starts so slow. The computer isn't doing anything.
Kind regards, Marc
