Ok, so I’ve had the M90 for almost a month now and figured I’d let you know how things were with it. I’m still really liking it, in spite of what happened today. I definitely think it was worth the money that was spent. I’ve had a couple of crashes, but nothing I could attribute to the laptop…until today. I crashed it 4 times this morning trying to create an AVI from a 42 second animation I’d created. Maybe it was the 15 frames per second or maybe it was the key frame every second…I don’t know. All I know is that I’d get an error message about lack of memory so I’d kill everything I possibly could, hit ‘retry’ and BAM! SolidWorks has terminated. I guess 2 gigs or RAM isn’t enough…?
I did, finally, get the AVI to work after enabling the /3GB and easing up on my settings. Part of me wants it to be a SolidWorks issue but, somehow, I think I should have opted for the $2400 upgrade to 4 gigs or RAM…not.
