SolidWorks 2007 - 64 bit operating system
SolidWorks 2007 - 64 bit operating system
(OP)
Couple of questions.
We just received our SW2007 and I'm in no hurry to update and have a new set of problems to contend with.
1. We are running alienwares that can take advantage of the SW2007 64bit version. Is anyone running this and have they noticed any performance increases over the old SW2006 32 bit version?
2. We are running PDMWorks in 2006. Will I have to do a bunch of reconfiguring Admin stuff in PDMWorks?
3. Any other general problems or things to watch out for when doing the upgrade?
Thanks

You will have to upgarde your vault to PDMworks 07
Don't upgrade your SW, do a new install!

I ran ship in a bottle on both several times and the 64 bit version was 2 seconds faster than the 32 bit version. This said 2 seconds is realy a wash.
But becouse I run both versions I only have 2gigs of ram.
Like Scott said the only advantage to the 64 bit version is if you have over 3gigs of memory.
