dell m6600....

[ex1200]

save to all, then using a mobile workstation of the m6600 arrived on 15/03/2012 with the following configuration

an intel® coreTM i7-2820qm (2.30ghz ,8mb cache ,quad coreTM)
graphics card nvidia picture 4000m with 2gb gddr5
windows® 7 professional authentic (64bit operating system) Italian
16gb 1333mhz ddr3 double canal (4x4gb)
hard disk sata by 320 gb 7200rpm
750gb (7200 rpm) sata hard drive
supersharp u2410 monitor 61 cm (24"), vga, 2 dvi, dp, hdmi, cs, cn (1.920 x 1200) black, united kingdom
advanced e-port with power supply approx from 210 w without support, Italian

with installed on swk 2009 and 2012 (regular both!!! ! )
But in the opening of the assemblies and in the masses on the table, it does not go like a missile.
I wanted to ask if the hard drives are not adequate or anything because I would like to use it full and not wait a minute for the opening of the file.
suggestions?

2009 should not even go on w7, it is not certified. traditional hard drives, especially in notebooks, are not missiles, but from there to see slowdowns.... what is slow especially? How many cpus do you see in the task manager?

 

[ex1200]

I see it slow in the opening and saving of the assemblies and in the masses on the table, but the nice that the same file opened with swk 2012 puts us the same time so I exclude incompatibility with win 7, in the task manager I see 7 cores.

 

[eboss]

but the asses you talk about how many components they have?
Does the cpu engaged in opening go to the maximum?

The fact that you see 7 cores on a quad cpu... is at least strange. I don't know in detail the cpu in question, but I think you need to see 4 or 8 cores depending on the configuration.
the fact that you see + of 4 core means that you have hyper threading active and this option should be removed for the use of cad.
"lenti" files with 2012 are completely converted in 2012 or are they still in previous version?
the test should be done by opening files (copy) with 2012, saving them (to convert them) and then reopening them.

 

[ex1200]

As far as the cores are regulating you are right and are 8,for the files of 2012 no matter for now because my client uses swk2009 and nn there are saints, the assemblies are not very large to the maximum 250 components ela cpu comes to the maximum to 16%.
I spent a bang on this car and I'm not very satisfied but I always hope it's me who can't use it well.

If you have to use 2009 you have to consider that it is already a fortune if it works, it is not certified and it is not said that the more you may encounter problems to which no one will give assistance. Surely 2009 does not use win 7 at best and consequently the performance could be affected.
for 2012 you can only test when you have files in 2012 format as the previous version files slow down the system.
I still have a m6400 with cpu t9600 (2,8 ghz), picture fx 3700, 8 gb ram ssd for os and hd 7,2 krpm for data. I am still quite satisfied with the performance of this machine (which I only use off-site) even on assemblies of several thousand pieces.
the m6600 model you described should fly, apart from the system disk (I would have taken a ssd).
do you have other applications? How's he doing?
Have you tried to enter the bios and see if you can turn off the hyper threading?

Good morning.
I have your own car.
Saved for ram, mine has a higher reading frequency
and the gb are "only" 8.
a couple of things to say:
work on the network or on the local pc? because if you work on the net there is no hope.
If you work locally, you can make a big leap forward with a ssd hard drive.

 

[ex1200]

What is this hyper treading? Isn't that what I do?
with other applications fly....and all in all with swk 2012 is fine but 2009 just doesn't want to know to go well.
Another thing,the Win 7 performance index is 5.9 isn't a little bass?
I work locally but the pc is always connected wirelessly to the internet, for the ssd I was thinking though I am puzzled because on the ssd I should jam the operating system or just move the data? and then do you install a hard drive ssd?

 

[andreamazzucco]

the hard disk ssd
is solid, without moving masses,
a little like a memory on a key.
you have to install the operating system and all the various software.
was a choice to make at the time of the initial configuration.
you can add it later.
the fact that you are connected to the internet, has no value on performance.

Windows performance index seems to me to arrive at max 8 and has within 5 values as you can see, and 5.9 is the lowest score of 5, surely will be data transfer (given from the hard disk). others will certainly be higher than 7 or 7,5 given the pc you described.
the 2009 version said that it is not certified on win 7, I had read a post of a user who didn't even leave.
with ssd you should reinstall us over the operating system, performance changes a lot in data reading speed, however you will need another hard drive because ssds have limited memory.

 

[eboss]

do you have one disk installed? check if there is the place to install a second from the features you see it.(almost surely has two accommodation one ws)
otheremnti you have to replace the current hdd with that ssd.
the score of seven is based on the lowest value given to the list of components. but it doesn't mean it's not good.
the wifì connection has no power on the performance of the pc/cad.
hyper threading in poor words divides the physical processor into two logical cpus, able to execute multiple instructions in parallel. (for this you see 8 cores) from task menager.

 

[andreamazzucco]

43 sec.
to open a set of 488 components and 662 solid bodies.
It's an acceptable time.
try to compare your times with mine.

 

[ex1200]

I answer a bit to everyone, currently I have two hard drives always from 7200 one from 750gb and one from 320 gb, so to put the ssd I should remove one.
my set consists of 1052 parts 58 unique subaxioms 68129 unique bodies 22 imported solids
opening time 1.47 minutes
considerations?

I'm sorry, but 68129 bodies seem a few to you? in swx with welded 1 body = 1 component. If you had generated the same together in other ssitemi cad you would have 68129 parts, it is a set that begins to be heavy and inevitably the pc suffers a little.

 

[ex1200]

Of course they are many, but I think that those 68129 I think they are all the commercial models that download from internet electric screwdrivers etc. Could those make the file open and manage?

the details you download from the internet... generally are much heavier than the native files....

 

[ex1200]

so to make a small reflection, between swk2009 and win 7 and the files downloaded from the internet I think it is normal slowing. I would like to try to remove hyper trading but will it serve something?

definitely the cad will run better the cpu.

Hello, I have recently taken one of 6600, almost 3,000 euros but are quite disappointed, apart from the initial cases due to the double video card (gran minchiata) , the performance is not at all up to expectations.
