Is there any way (and how) to adjust Solid Works to efficiently use RAM memory?
I recently added 1 GB of RAM but didn’t notice difference.
Also, could anyone recommend a good graphic card for Solid works?

Thanks.
 
Things turning in to blocks is controlled by the "Level of detail" slider in Solidworks 2005, which replaces the "Remove detail during Zoom/Pan/Rotate" option in SW2004.
 
I use a small freeware program called TClockEx that shows me real-time RAM usage in the taskbar while I load large assemblies etc.

It has other advantages too, like letting you see the date in your taskbar, and allows you to copy the current date/time to add to drawings etc.
