    How in the heck is a laptop with only 32MB running I2?????? maybe student edition is less intense?

    I just equipped one and put 512 MB on it. The 16 Meg of video RAM is what makes the laptop real expensive.

    Our NT workstations run Pro just fine! No crashes. Dual pentiums, though, and 1 Gig RAM. We'll just call it the DURAMAX!

    PDM sucks.


    Solid Works: I hear good things about. Easier to use.

    On to trucks, the Big 3 have been using Catia for a while becuz of its surfacing. it sucks for assemblies though. Pro now has an advanced surfacing module that they are trying to push very hard to the big 3.

    My tiny SONY VAIO also has 2.5 meg video card,
    student edition almost same as full version,
    can create small parts, spin/shade no problem.
    if you start to creat assemblies, she will
    slow to a crawl...i will add 64k ram and then be
    ok.

    If WINDOWS NT PC set up right, will burn rubber,
    RISC processors slower but can handle large
    assemblies. My workstation has a GIG of RAM,
    but when creating large assemblies of satellite
    components she will slow to a crawl, need to use
    simplified reps.

    Back in '97 PTC went to FORD to offer a package
    deal, FORD wanted to rewrite some of the modules
    for body contouring, PTC said no, SDRC ideas
    got in the door with a twenty million dollar order. Sometimes i think PTC too arrogant.

    Have used some of the surfacing modules for
    injection molded parts...also sheetmetal...

    UNIX workstn is like CUMMINS DIESEL
    PENTIUM III PEECEES like SHETLAND pony, a little
    faster but carries less...agree??? you should
    agree 1000%

    Regards, back to completing my assembly drawing.
