Anybody run SolidWorks on a laptop with nvidia geforce go 7400 graphics?

Subject pretty much sums it up. I'm eyeing a laptop that uses that
graphics chipset and wondered if anyone had any feedback about it.
It'll also have 1 gig ram and 2GHz dual-core. I'm working on fairly
basic stuff - prismatic parts with assy's with about 50-100 parts or
so.

Thanks!

 

nVidia cards are usually best for SolidWorks. As long as you don't
have multiple solidworks part windows at the same time, then using a
non-quadro card should be fine for your work. But if you find that you
have, lets say, 10+ part windows open at a time then you can run into
some bad slowdowns. I think this is because all the information is
stored in graphics memory which then gets chewed up. Make sure the
7400 has at least 64mb, preferably 128mb, of PHYSICAL memory. A bunch
of laptops these days have cards that use both physical and system
memory. The latter is waaaaaay slower and is just there to produce
more marketing babble about better performance when in reality it
offers minimal improvements.
