I have been "upgraded" with a new system after 3 years, and I don't know if I should be thrilled or not.
I have been running some benchmarks between the 2 machines, but they do not appear to be a huge difference. The solidworks benchmarks utility is giving me mixed results, and the punchholder just hangs up at the pattern feature.
Old system:
XP64 Pro
Dell Precision T7500
(2) Nvidia Quadro FX3800
Xeon E5530 2.4Ghz
6.00 GB Ram
Solidworks 2011 SP 4.0
New system
Win7 64 Pro
Dell Precision T7500
Nvida Quandro 4000
Xeon E5645 2.4 Ghz
12.00 GB Ram
Solidworks 2012 SP 1.0
We do complex parts, with lots of free flowing surfaces and fillets. Not many large assemblies. At times we work with laser scanned surfaces.
What should I be expecting with this new setup? Also any thoughts on files just hanging up?
