Hi,
Since I'm an industrial design student my school lets me use a student’s version of SolidWorks at home. Now I cannot afford a proper workstation so I'm trying to find out if the computer I'm looking into is capable enough to handle SolidWorks.
I'm not a very heavy user (my designs are not very big/with lots of parts/very detailed), and I will not expect superb performance but I really want to use SW at home so I can do my homework there (which is mostly getting to learn the program).
So this is the set I am looking into:
MSI H61M-E33 Motherboard
Intel Core i5 2300 (Changed to i5 2400 - 3.1ghz)
4gb 1333ghz memory (Changed to 8gb 1333ghz DDR3)
Intel 64gb SSD
Onboard VGA
Win 7 x64
If needed, I do have access to an old Quadro NVS graphical card and 6gb of memory, but this is kind of inconvenient.
My theory is, since a lot of students manage to run SW on their laptops, this setup will probably be powerfull enough to handle the program.
In short:
Will this listed set of hardware be sufficient enough to run SW?
