Re: Pentium D or Pentium 4, that is the question...

Well SolidWorks currently has SolidWorks x64 that runs on Windows x64.
It was released along with 2006 sp04.

When Vista is released SolidWorks will probably support it pretty
quickly. They are good about adding new technology support right away.
When you get Vista I think most new computers will ship with the
64-bit version. Vista32 version will be reserved for upgrades of older
systems. Intel is adding 64-bit support to their mobile lineup this
summer so even laptops should run Vista64.

So based on what MS is doing I would expect SolidWorks 64 to be running
on most new Vista systems. Otherwise I would expect SolidWorks 32 to
run on older systems. Who knows what SW will do though in terms of
naming and branding. Maybe they will have SolidWorks Vista product.
Or maybe they will do like MS did and not even tell you if you are
running 64 or 32 solidworks, it just installs based on your computer
setup.
