From: Anna Wood on 2 Oct 2007 12:47 Pete, You need to clarify that it did not work for you in your particular situation with a Dell M70. That is where some of us have an issue. A lot of people are talking the line of a year or more ago with Vista and Open GL drivers, performance, etc. At that time the statements may have been true with their particular hardware and software. The hardware and software people are not standing still and are delivering product that works well with Vista. Cheers, Anna Wood

The first article under "News and Tech Alerts" "9/21/2007 Support for Windows Vista 64-bit SolidWorks 2008 software is currently supported on the following Microsoft Windows Operating Systems: XP Professional (x32), XP Professional (x64), Vista Business (x32) and Vista Ultimate edition (x32). Please note that the 64-bit (x64) versions of Windows Vista are not currently supported, nor is the use of the x32 version of SolidWorks 2008 with x64 Vista versions. Furthermore, installation of the x32 version of SolidWorks 2008 on an x64 Vista Operating System is blocked, since this is not currently a supported configuration." - - Personaly I don't see any point what what so ever of installing SolidWorks on 32 bit Vista. When SolidWorks will run on 64bit Vista I will consider upgrading, for the extra RAM, but only after 2 or 3 service packs from SolidWorks. John Layne www.solidengineering.co.nz

I'll second that. SWX2008 + Vista Ultimate are faster overall. With SWX2008 loaded with a small file open I'm using about 1.1G of physical memory.
