We were using ATI Fire GL 3100's before, and we went to nVidia FX570's. That's the best I could do with the budget being held by a garotte.

in Ask the Reader: SolidWorks on Vista 64 bit. Best System Setup? What’s Important? on SolidSmack
Windows Vista 64-bit
Hi all,
My system consists of the following:
E6850 @ 3.00 GHz
6.00 GB RAM
NVIDIA Quadro FX 4600
I installed SolidWorks 2008 SP4.0 64bit, 3 months ago. In the start everything was chaos and our reseller couldn’t tell us why, and SolidWorks crashed very often. It turned out it was our PDMWorks’s addin which caused the trouble. Of cause I searched the net for people with similar problems since our reseller was a n00b regarding the issue. As it turned out I had to add a new path in windows environment variables “C:\Program Files\PDMWorks Enterprise” Ever since I’ve had no trouble at all. Every little nice visual feature is turned on, I can load huge assemblies (for me 1600 parts) with realview materials and the mirror effect. It runs smoothly! A guy from the SolidWorks support center told me “Vista is a nice looking way to make SolidWorks unstable” sure when you don’t know that you have to add a new variable to the system. Other than that he couldn’t be further from the truth! SolidWorks is now running more smoothly then every.
So don’t be afraid to upgrade to Windows Vista 64-bit. It’s the best thing ever happened, in this office!

Hey Josh, super homepage!
Is there any way that you should save the "pretty spirals and helix's" :) is a 2008 Version. Some IT-admins are pretty far behind regarding the rollour of 2009.
Thanks for all the info :)
