Hi all,

 

I'm not too computer hardware savvy so I wanted to get everyones opinion. I'm looking at picking up one of these to occasionally use Solidworks at home. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9366651&type=product&id=1218092150636

 

I know it doesn't have a certified graphics card....

 

I want to be able to run Solidworks "as needed" at home for personal use....No complex assemblies or anything.

 

Thanks

Correct Answer
The graphics card looks like it should be alright Solidworks wants an openGL certified card and that one is, the only issue that I see is the Operating System I copied and pasted this from the Solidworks system requirement.

 

(3) Windows Vista Ultimate, Business and Enterprise editions only (SP0 or higher).

(4) Windows Vista 64-bit is supported for SolidWorks 2008 SP3.1 or higher. The Education Edition, Student   Edition, and Student Design Kit are supported after the 2008-2009 academic school year.

(5) Supported for Windows XP Professional SP2 or higher.

 

and you may see some slow rebuilds on bigger files due to the die level cache 3MB usually never noticed.
