Can I put an sd card and assign it as RAM, would it help since the pc is at the maximum, i.e. 8 GB

Hello

8 GB is not enough for using SolidWorks and your processor is not suitable.

  1. Don't run software like Excel at the same time.
  2.  Fermer et rouvrir solidworks  souvent, cela libérera de la mémoire.
  3. il est possible d'augmenter la mémoire virtuelle, ca pourra aider

il est suggéré de régler la mémoire virtuelle à deux fois le montant de la RAM physique installée.  Par défaut, cette mémoire virtuelle est gérée par Windows, généralement environ 1,5 fois la RAM physique installée. Vous pouvez la modifier en vous rendant dans : 

Panneau de configuration -> Système -> Paramètres système avancés -> Paramètres des performances->  Avancé -> Modifier -> décochez "Gestion automatique du fichier d'échange pour les lecteurs

 - Enter the initial size value of 2 times the amount of physical RAM installed in your system (e.g., if you have 8 GB, type 16000 MB.).
 - Enter a maximum size value that is the same as the original size.

Adding an SD card as ram is accepted by windows, after I never did the test with Solidworks. The lifespan of your SD card will not be very long I think

Can't add a little more RAM to your sticks?

Make sure you have enough disk space available.

The operating system needs enough disk space to store system files and temporary files. If you have enabled the SOLIDWORKS Automatic Backup option (recommended), note that it also uses disk space.

You should have at least 250 to 500 MB of available disk space on any local drive. If you use partitions, allocate a good portion of the disk space to the drive on which your operating system is installed.

Reduce graphical accuracy, aperture in light mode.....

Hello for having run a lot of time with a tower in 8GB of ram + win 7 we had to regularly close SW to purge the ram otherwise risk of saturation.

Now you're under Win10 so at least to be comfortable it's 16GB.

Note that a 2.6 GHz processor is light for SW, at least 3-3.5GHz.

Today for  500-800€ you have second-hand workstations (end of leasing of large companies) with Xeon at 3.5Ghz and 32GB Ram with quadro Serie M.

Example with dual core (price less than 2000€ but not confirmed)

  • DELL T7910 – dual Xeon E5-2637 v3 - NVIDIA Quadro M6000 12GB - 64GB (8x8GB) 2133MHz DDR4 RDIMM ECC - 1TB SSD
  • LENOVO P710 – dual Xeon E5-2650 v3 – NVIDIA Quadro M6000 or Geforce RTX 2070 – 64GB (4x16GB) DDR4 RDIMM – 1TB SSD

 

For the dual core I'm going to post a request if it's useful or not on SW.

So it's unifying to talk about it here^^

Kind regards
