I don't know how much you are able or willing to spend, but as a minimum in specs check out the Dell M6300

The reason I am asking as these cards are dedicated 256-512mb should it not be enough memory to run the software.

Some people are lucky and do not have problems, other than no RealView capability.
Other people have annoying graphics glitches that are an inconvenience.
Still others have graphics glitches that render the software nigh unusable.
Others crash SolidWorks.
If you use an unapproved card, it will be blamed (justly or not) for any and every problem you have with the software. Nobody (especially SW) will try much to help you with any issues you may have when using an unapproved card.
Russian roulette, anyone?

Be sure that you are getting XP-64 for an OS. Otherwise you will need to use the 3-gig switch for your ram. You are buying a 64-bit processor, might as well put it to good use.
