Optimize Solidworks with Windows 7

Optimize Solidworks with Windows 7

Optimize Solidworks with Windows 7

(OP)
I'm sure this question has been asked before but if I can be directed to the right place I'd appreciate it. What's the best way to optimize Solidworks 2010 with Windows 7? I have a HP Pavilion with an Athlon II X4 635 Processor, 2900 Mhz, Quad Core, 10 GIG Ram, Western Digital 1T Green, nVidia Quadro FX-1800. It seems the hardware is appropriate (except for maybe the AMD - I'm an Intel fan myself) but I seem to creep along after a period of time. Other times Solidworks will stop working altogether and give me the dreaded "Solidworks is not responding..." message. Sometimes I will get a dialog that tells me that Solidworks has detected low resources and that I should shutdown some programs. I usually have Internet open for email and calendar and always have Excel open. Other than that I'm just not running much. Any suggestions that will help my performance?

RE: Optimize Solidworks with Windows 7

Check out the web page for the SW World 2011 Presentations:
Optimizing Computer systems for Solidworks

This is one I found to be really interesting. towards the end of the presentation it does show some settings to set in Win7 to help with performance.

Maximizing Solidworks Performance

I hope this helps,
