Re: Slow mouse reactions on SW 2006

I wouldn't call a $175.00 ATI Radeon 9800 128MB 8X AGP "weak at best"
especially since some of these really weak mobile chipsets are certified.
The only limitations noted on the SW site is that I could not have more than
a certain amount of full screen SW project windows operating at once which
is fine because I only use one or two at a time.

I know SW likes to have user of the program just use their certified cards,
but unfortunatley we have a business to run that does more than use
Solidworks. We have been using SW for over 7 years and it seems like they
keep changing the approved video cards every version.

If "get a new video card" is the answer to issues every year I guess we just
have to factor into our costs of operations for Solidworks the expense
associated with replacing video cards on all our engineering systems every
year and all the costs associated with testing all our other system's. With
our own internal testing costs, changing a $150 video card for a new one
really ends up costing us an extra $500 per switch.

Your problem is not with the mouse. It has to do with your video card.
The card you are using is weak at best. If you goto SW website, in
the graphics card area, you will find a list of cards that passes
testing. Also, another option to help performance would be to add RAM,
as much as you can afford, 1Gig or more.

Its has been my expierence that it doesn't matter how small your parts
are, its all about complexity.
