Are you sure? I will buy a new notebook with 4 giga of Ram without windows vista there is uselles.. do you know if exist a version of catia v5 that can work under vista?
Haven't heard any date when Catia will support Vista, this is a generel problem with Vista due to they only support DirectX and not OpenGL that business applications use.
It's not useless with 4gig ram, just see if you can get XP64 instead, Catia supports XP64 and there you will have an advantage with 4 gig ram.
Has anybody here heard about a date or Catia release to support Vista????
Heard something that the issue is the ICD that should be delivered from the graphic card manufacturers. If no OpenGL ICD is not installed then vista will render in software mode.
Yeah i'm sure, i run x64 at work and vista at home. Both machines are same spec. Only problem i have is having large assemblies open. Manupulation of the models is sluggish. I mostly design, assemble and 5 axis NC program for aerospace. Vista struggles with MSG also. CATIA doesn't crash any more or less on vista for me.
