I’m having some problems with 2011 that I am assuming is directly related to my system.
My computer is 5 years old and the System Resources are as follows.
Pentium 4 single core @3.20ghz
4 gb of DDR ram operating on XP-pro 32bit (which addresses only 3.something gb)
NVIDIA Gforce 6600 with 256mb ram with most recent driver
Page file is set to 2046 initial size and 4092 max.
I realize my system is dated but I am only using it for tutorial work, family creation and nothing of major size in production mode where speed counts. I have worked with larger tutorial models in 2010 and did not seem to have the “maxed-out” system problems I am now encountering with 2011. (I can work up to a point, then the hourglass appears when I hover any drawing element or try to invoke a command this also starts the green percentage re-drawing screen the in the lower right hand portion of the workspace).
I did a clean uninstall/reinstall of Revit 2011 to no avail. (Interestingly enough, even though the clean uninstall directs you to remove what seems to be every possible folder and registry entry, I found it strange that modifications made to the QAT showed up in the reinstalled Revit 2011 interface.
I’m not sure I want to back everything up and start fresh by installing XP64bit in hopes of taking advantage of full access to the 4mb of ram and to avoid the purchase a new motherboard, chip and video card right now as I’m not working.
I’m not sure just what to do right now so if any of you have a deeper insight of when to go I’d really appreciate the advice.
Thanks,
Hank
