Ok, so i am still waiting for feedback fro you guys on building a new unit, but i am trying to understand where my current unit is really lacking.
When i open the file in 2009 that is causing my problem, its telling me SW is unable to retain the required memory and i need to free some up or it will terminate.
So when i open task manager, processes, it says solidworks.exe--my name--CPU 50 (while its opening the file) 1,500,000K memory usuage and then down on the bottom it says CPU usage 100% (when opening file). The actual solidworks assembly file is 135MB. I have all the parts on lightweight, OPen GL turned on, resolution turned all the way down. As i start unhiding parts, thats when it gives me the error, usually when it gets to around 1,600,000K of memory usuage.
So am i maxing out CPU, RAM, or video?
My specs are:
XP Home
Intel Core 2 Duo 3.0Ghz
4GB Ram (3.3GB actual)
GeForce 8600GT 512mb
So whats your ideas????
