I am looking forward for user experiences after they upgraded
to SW2008, not with respect to feature set available in 08 but with
respect to hardware.
To explain a bit, whether the performance is better or worse, what hardware is required to safely upgrade to SW08?
We just cannot keep up with SW and its hardware requirements over its every new release. We are still in SW06, and now testing the waters to move to SW08, this should not render with a whole bunch of useless computers mostly dell precisions 350 and above.
Your comments are much appreciated.

You will need 1GB of ram minimum, but that little RAM may be painful. I strongly suggest 2GB (which is how much I have), and 4GB is even better. You will also need a certified video card: http://www.solidworks.com/page.../VideoCardTesting.html
The rest of the options are all tradeoffs. A fast proccessor is the most important part, read one of the other threads for suggestions if you want to purchase a new system, there are plenty of those threads.
