I've been running Solidworks on the cheapest ram I can find for about a decade with no issues. --- End quote --- Solidworks/Mastercam. Usually about 10+ instances of each at once. Sometimes as much as 20 instances of SW and 10~ of MC. |

Do you mean you have 20 files open at once? if so, I still don't see the point. The computer isn't dong much of anything with those open but dormant windows anyway. It's not like it's constantly redrawing or rendering real-time lighting effects or anything while you leave them dormant :-\ |

Then let's say I open 15 more parts from those assemblies. Then let's say I import 10 of those parts into Mastercam. That's 185 parts. Every single one of those instances is stored in the RAM. ECC is not necessary, but because we use exclusively Xeon processors, it would be foolish not to use ECC RAM. |
