From: Phil Evans on 1 Oct 2007 14:22 We are locked into Solidworks 2007 for the next 2 years due to program requirements. Part of the program requirements is that we provide engineers to our clients site. To accomplish this we will be buying HP workstation laptops. By default they come with Vista Business but HP will provide the XP disks to us. To fully utilise all the laptops ram we would need to stick with Vista. Have there been any problems with the combination of Solidworks 2007 and Vista?
From: zxys on 1 Oct 2007 15:52 Phil, can you elaborate on this? Is HP or is there a chart/graphic comparison you were given to show that Vista was better with ram over XP using SolidWorks? Otherwise,.. who/what/where/how,.. is Vista utilizing the ram better, more efficient or different to use it over XP? ...

Vista is a RAM HOG. You will definitely use all of the ram a laptop has with vista because it will use it ALL. Yer better off with XP. There is a 2007 version for Vista, but it was beta. Ur better off with real released softwre. Your not missing anything by avoiding vista or 2008. Daisy. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com
From: Phil Evans on 1 Oct 2007 16:18 It is my understanding, and please correct me if I am wrong, that Windows XP can only access a maximum of 4 gigs of ram. Vista 32 bit has the same limitation but Vista 64 bit can access 128 gigs of ram.

That's not what you said originally. If you're worried about that, why don't you get XP 64bit since I don't believe any vershon of SW exits curently that runs on vista64.
