What experience, good or bad, have people had running SWX under 64bit Windows? TIA John H
I've been running 2006 in both 32 and 64 bit. I've seen no benefit to one over the other. Neither are what I'd call stable, both have the same bugs, and I haven't seen any performance difference. Of course, with 64 bit the same file uses twice the ram (not actually 2x, but something approaching this...seems to vary). I work on fairly complex parts, but not big assemblies.
The only drawback that bob z. has run into is the availability of printer drivers. yes, yes, bob z. knows this is a swx specific question, but we all need to be aware of the printing issues. bob z. likes running swx-64 and xp-64 just so he can say, "hey, look at me. mine's bigger and badder than yours." :~)> bob z. p.s. those summer nights are callin. can't help myself from fallin...
So does anyone have an experience of better performance or stability with 64bit, or is the one and only benefit the ability to use more RAM for use with large assemblies? John H
Hello. I use now Windows Xp x64, with GForce 7600GT and 1giga Ram. i can see that now SW works faster and more stable. i am very satisfied with that version of SW
I use now Win 8XP x64 1 giga Ram GT7600. My SW2007x64 works very fine. firstly i was using x86 version of SW, but now i can see in this version it worsk more stable and faster. maybe i will chcnage my memory because it can be truble tu use in big assemblies, but now i diddn't test on it.
