First recommendation:

First the first while install just the OS
then all patches/drivers/updates etc.
Then Inventor and SP1 and nothing else and run like that with a really clean
minimal system for at least a couple of weeks. At least you know then if you
have problems its not a software conflict with some other application you
are running. Also if you install any other programs one at a time with a
couple of days between using INV you can troubleshoot any problems much
easier.

my 2 cents.
Hoping you have a great time with INV6 like I have had Albert.

Well Albert I think you should pack it up and send it to me. I'll gladly
tune it up for a modest cost and send it back to you ... say about a year or
so.

Hi Albert
I have more or less the same hardware (Dell) and R6 works well.
My biggest problem is the Wildcat4 7110 grafic card.
This card is not supported by Autodesk (yet), so I can't download the right driver for R6.
Is there someone with this same grafic card ????

"... Inventor and SP1 and nothing else ..."

Microsoft Excel could be useful for threads.

Question:

Since, theoretically, Inventor would run best on a clean system, what about setting up a PC with a dual boot. One boot that just loads Inventor, Office and IE into the regestry, and another boot for any other apps? Hard drives are pretty big now-adays.

Would that be worth it?

No concerns there because I have never had good
luck with Adesks recommended drivers; in fact for me their recommended drivers
usually cause my system to crash (I am totally serious with that statement) I
just try different ones (even the older ones) until I find one that is
stabile.

Yeah sounds like a lot of hassle though. Fact is if
you need a solid reliable system for day to day running Inventor (esp if its
your bread and butter) then why load your system up with other non-work
garbage?

So maybe you like to download music or play games
(just for example) but should that be allowed to jepordize your work
stability. IMO no. I have a comp at home that is loaded up with all that stuff
and my work machine stays lean and mean and have never had many problems with
INV6 or any other release.

Also I reload the OS and INV etc fresh from scratch
at least every 12 months (one day I will get around to making a HDD image) just
to give it a good "flush out". The only problem with this is the F$&^$
CDilla nightmare for us untrustworthy peasants outside the USA, but thats
another fight for another day...
