Stability issues wtith SW2008 x64

(OP)
We have tried the Solidworks 64 bit software and matching Os, for large assemblies, and found it unstable.  Are we missing something.  We need some significant improvements in large assembly performance.  We are using 64bit xp with 32 bit SW?

RE: Stability issues wtith SW2008 x64

Can you post your complete system specs? (CPU, RAM, video card and driver, etc)

How large is large? (how many parts, how many distinct parts)
How complex are the parts and assys? (patterns, sweeps)

In what way do you find it unstable? (crashing, hanging, graphic glitches)

RE: Stability issues wtith SW2008 x64

(OP)
Dell 490 and 690, quadro 4600 video cards, 16 gig ram dual xeon processors (not sure of the speed).

2500-4000 parts, mostly planar parts very few if any helical parts,

Most of what we do is automated remote tooling not die sets or molds.
