(OP)
I have just rec. a new laptop(HP pavilion zv5340us).It has a AMD Athlon processor, 2.2GHz, 512MB RAM, 100GB. The video card is a GeForce4 440 64MB. The Operating System is Microsoft Windows XP Home service pack 2.
What are my chances that this will run SolidWorks 2005 for moderate use.

I had a similar laptop for a few months, but returned it, only because I didn't see a real need for a desktop replacement laytop (I don't travel enough).
I was able to open and manipulate 600-part assemblies. I was able to model (but didn't like the reduced screen resolution) parts, and work on small 10-part in-context assemblies. eDrawings worked "ok".
Sometimes I did notice slight repaint issues while in drawings, and rotation can get a bit hesitant. While not listed for this card, Real View worked nicely.
I hope this helps.
