What computer configuration is needed to run SW2014?
I make 3D files that are larger and larger in file size, containing 4 to 6 different configurations.
SW2014 sometimes takes about thirty seconds to open, which can go up to 5 minutes.
I even have assemblages, within assemblages, within assemblages... There, it's endless, the 8GB of RAM is blocked to the max. It's lagging terribly.
A 3.3 GHz Mini proc of pref. A xeon with a large cache memory
1 SSD for system and log
1 disk for file storage
Of the ram 16 / 32 / 64 according to budget if xeon the memory ecc
an open GL nvidea mini graphics card a quadro 4000
here is already enough to target the prices

Windows 7 64-bit or Windows 8.1
Disque SSD
I7
16GB memory
Are the files stored locally or on a network?
What is your current configuration?
Agree with Stefbeno, if the problems are with opening and recording, working locally brings a lot, with an ssd, it's even better.
Here are the publisher's recommendations, which can be consulted at:
http://www.solidworks.fr/sw/support/SystemRequirements.html
Of course, if you work in a network, it affects the performance at opening and recording.
Working locally is good if you are the only one working with SolidWorks, in this case you use the network as a means of backup (but you have to remember to copy these files to the network).
If there are several of you working with SolidWorks (with common files of course), working locally requires duplicating files on your PC locally and on the network, moving files, etc. SolidWorks doesn't like this type of manipulation!!
The solution in this case is the addition of EPDM (file management).
Thank you for your answers.
Here is my configuration:
Win 7 Pro 64-bit, Intel Xeon X5687 3.6GHz, 8GB Ram, SW2014.
I work locally, and for large assemblies (machine, press, etc.) it's networked.
But the problem is mainly on the 1st files before assembly.
Usually, I redesign all 3Ds. But exceptionally, for the arrival of a new machine, I had to recover in parasolid a model that we made on another software, to continue modifications in SW. Maybe this also explains the huge size of the files.
Hello
It's clear that if you have exploited the Parasolid without "wasting" a few hours (which in the end will be ganged) to correct, clean and therefore lighten it, you have a big risk of increasing file size and computation time.

good config an addition of memory would be a +
To minimize the opening time looks at the blocking bar

to minize the size of your subassemblies if they are really finished
put them in parts with a ref that remains in the title to recover your sub-assembly in assemblies

Given the configuration, I imagine that the graphics card is of the same order.
I agree with Coyote on the parasolid problem.
