Hardware spec for large assemblies
Hardware spec for large assemblies
(OP)
Is there anybody out there building assemblies successfully with around 5000 parts or more?. If yes what hardware are you using? Ideally i want to be able to go up to in excess of 10000 parts. My Solidworks supplier advises me that the following hardware spec will be sufficient.
2.5GHz Pentium processor
2GB+ of RAM
Nvidia Quadro 4 or Wildcat graphics card
SCSI hard drive
Windows 200 (sp2)/xp pro
The computer i am in the throws of purchasing is as above with the exception that we will use a Zeon processor.
Unfortunately i have doubts about information given to me from my reseller

Sorry if i didn't make it clear, but the resellers suggestion is in the body of my first message

That seems like a fine computer to me to run large assemblies on. I would get a large HDD though something like 80-120 gig. That gives you plenty of space to put a large Virtual swap memory spot. Something like 3-4 gig swap space.
