What kind of hardware do you guys use for Simulator?

What kind of hardware do you guys use for Simulator?

What kind of hardware do you guys use for Simulator?

(OP)
Just a general question.

We have what I think to be pretty sweet desktop machines to run Solidworks. 8GB RAM, nice graphics cards etc...on XP64.

While Solidworks does fine with it, Simulator is still pretty slow, crashes a lot, blue screens of death, and will display blocky graphics when pushed too hard. (and yes we have the SWx approved driver).

I'm just curious what kind of systems people run for running Simulator analyses? (and not very complex ones either...like maybe 6 parts in an assembly)

RE: What kind of hardware do you guys use for Simulator?

What graphics card exactly? its important to list your hardware and your VC driver... sounds more like a hardware issue.

Card is Quadro FX1700 with 6.14.11.9166 driver

RE: What kind of hardware do you guys use for Simulator?

What version and SP of SolidWorks?

Also can you give complete system specs?  See my signature for an example.

Cheers,
