memory switch on command line ?
(OP)
We have some relatively big assemblies and drawings. 10 > 300 MB. This 300 GHz Pentium 4 with 2 GB ram gags on many models and drawings. SW 2005 runs for > 20 minutes with 100 CPU, and hardly any RAM usage, according to task manager/performance.
Is there a "switch" that could be added to the shortcut or someplace else to make use of the ram loading these horses?

"300 Ghz Pentium"...are you sure?
RE: memory switch on command line ?
We have a Quadro FX 1100 card with 128 MB Memory, AMD Athlon 64 FX-53 Processor 2.40 GHz, 2.00 GB of RAM,
2 hard drives, with as minimum as possible loaded onto the computer. Our 2nd computer has e-mail and etc.
Our assemblies were not built right in the beginning; we have well over 300 mates per assembly. That was a big mistake. We have fixed all mates, which helps. Anyway it takes over 5 minutes to open and will crash a lot.
We have to save the file and reboot the computer before checking into PDM or SolidWorks will crash.

2) What task manager/processes are running when this happens?
3) What are the [b[Commit Charge, Physical Memory & Kernel Memory[/b] values when this happens?
4) In the files which "gag" your machine, is there any common component or assy model?
5) Have you run an Assembly Statistics scan on the problem models?
6) Are the problem drawing files referencing problem models?

"1) What happens after 20 mins?"
If I ignore it for a LONG time it sometimes opens. But I often give up, innocently or even naively suspecting that extreme CPU usage and minimal ram (but at least no HD paging) means something about the model has a problem.
2) What task manager/processes are running when this happens?
Oh, a couple dozen appear as processes with no CPU or I/O activity. Sometimes I shut down as many as I dare, leaving network, anti-virus, winlogon, even though they seem to be just stuck in memory.
I will investigate what needs to be loaded minimally, and copy the entire wheelbarrow to my hard drive.
3) What are the [b[Commit Charge, Physical Memory & Kernel Memory[/b] values when this happens?
I'll have to find out how to find that out.
4) In the files which "gag" your machine, is there any common component or assy model?
It IS "THE 115,920 kb ASSEMBLY." Full of fillets, weld beads, wires, patterned parts, and lord knows what else.
5) Have you run an Assembly Statistics scan on the problem models?
I'll try that tomorrow
6) Are the problem drawing files referencing problem models?
Probably
RE: memory switch on command line ?
Anaylze each sub-assy looking for problem areas or parts & use the Tools > Feature Statistics feature on the those parts to find out where the major rebuild times are. Then try to fix/minimize that feature.
