We run SW. The latest box we bought my designer runs Vista Pro 64 bit compatible. Twin processors, 8GB ram, 500 GIG 15 krpm Raid 1 drives, and cost about $3500 w/o the monitors.

Similar to your experiences, SW does no yet work right with Vista 64 bit. They are working the problems. We have no choice; the sizes of some of our models requires a SOA 32 bit box 30 minutes to just open and they are unstable after that.

Stick with it; soon you will be up and smokin' SW ..............

Being 'puter illiterate as I am, I have a slightly different selection system when I get a new one.... I go to WalMart, pick out the prettiest girl, and tell her how much money I want to spend.... I must resemble their Grandfather or something, very pleased with the 'puter she picked out for me!!!!

An update---My new custom built computer, made specifically by Dell to run solidworks arrived 3 days ago. After a half day of loading up software, I am very pleased with it. I had then put XP professional on it as an operating system, and after 2 months of going slightly crazy running Vista, its like coming home to an old friend. Now, if I can just sell my "other" new computer, I'll be in good shape.---Brian My eyes are kinda fried right now---I just completed a 3 week contract today, designing roller presses and automatic infeed tables to manufacture jigsaw puzzles, and on adding them up, I find that I have created 125 engineering drawings in 120 hours.

Time to take a break, hope the weather cooperates for you.

WooHoo!!!! I just sold the computer with Vista on it for $675.00 cash thru the local "buy and sell" weekly paper. That, in reality, is about 66% of what the cpu cost me. I kept the killer monitor, mouse, and keyboard that came with it.
