Anyone plan on testing/evaluating this version?

I've got all the hardware and software, except for the 4GB RAM, that's not
in my budget yet.

I have some test results from Wayne. It definitely allows you to use
more ram, but SW doesn't seem to want to use paged out virtual memory.
IIRC he got one more iteration than normal on Patbench. The other
penalty is performance. Although you can load a larger assembly,
performance suffers, possibly because the application is not native 64
bits. If you do go this route, plan on getting the fastest processor
you can afford. This probably means the high end FX5x AMD processors or
Opterons on a motherboard that can load lots of RAM.

There was some benchmarking done a while back with Opterons. They are
fast. Duals won't help much unless you are using PhotoWorks or the new
functionality in the Drawing package. The reason I mention Opterons is
that they work on the server motherboards which can be obtained with
slots for more memory. |

How about dual Opterons, any information about this set up? This is what I
have in a box, waiting for further funds.

Let me re-phrase,
I'm referring to the Solidworks 2006 x64 Edition Beta 1 Software (i.e native
64 bit application). If you go to Solidworks downloads, it's sitting
right.there. |

I haven't seen that yet. I think Wayne was running ordinary SW on a
64bit OS. I am not sure that the Beta is native 64 bit.

True, but you've got to have the correct hardware to use it.

It is native 64 bit and runs only on x64 hardware. It is a completely
different version. We have started testing of beta1 and beta 2 which is
mid-to-late Nov. will include Cosmos and all languages (right now only
english, German and Japanese.)
If you're interested you can register and download at
www.beta.solidworks.com

I stand corrected.
Might even take all five seats of SW in that direction since we now
have dual core AMD's on line. We would have to swing XP64 though.
Mark is eDrawings and DWGEditor in SW plans for 64 bit? We use
eDrawings heavily and DWGEditor I hope will take over from 16 bit
FastCad. |

Looks and functions the same, except performance, where there is a notable
difference. Wish I could use this in production (we're still using '05). |
