I am running solidworks 2009sp3.0 and my system requirements are at the minimum. I am looking to upgrade my system and the server in my office. does any body have any recommendations on what I should get and should I wait until windows7 is released
Vista64 (or soon Windows 7) is the operating system of choice. There are quite a few people who are already running SW 2009 and SW 2010 Beta on Windows 7 Beta and say it is better there than anywhere else.
WinXP 64 bit has quite a few more bugs, and will not be supported after SW2010 anyway, stay clear.
