I wouldn't recommend running SW Vista on the M70. The newer M65, M90, M4300 and M6300 notebooks all have Vista drivers that are in the process of being tested by SolidWorks Corp.

Back to the original question...SolidWorks 2007 Vista Version is Prerelease only and will never be fully supported. If you must stick with SW2007, stick with XP. You can get the HP 8510w and 8710w mobile workstations configured with WinXP 64 and have full support for 4GB RAM. (Max RAM supported on any notebook.)
From: pete on 3 Oct 2007 10:52 Thanks Jim, for the info. Performance is quite good on the M70, with all the Vista bells, turned off. I got the graphics working by using Forceware drivers, though not great, I must admit, even though It managed to get "Realview" working. It was an old machine that was laying around, so I thought I would give it a go. No loss to myself, but a few points were proved about Solidworks 2007 and Vista. No, the Solidworks 2008 and Vista business test, is on a the new machine, using an AMD am2 x2 5000, with 8 GB ram and an Nvidia fx3400. This coupled with a Seasonic M12 600w psu and a Asus M2 Crosshair motherboard. Yes I know the Crossshair is a gaming mobo, but again, if is left laying around, it gets used, lol. Sometimes I love my job, !!!! quick get a medic!
