Revit Architecture System Requirements

[ragde07]

I currently have revit 9.1 installed on my machine and noticed that when i upgraded from Revit 8.1 the Revit was slower. I am looking into installing Revit Architecture but would like to know if my system will be enough to support the software.

My system:
Pentium 4, 3.00 Ghz
2 GB of Ram
NVidia GeForce FX 5200

Will this be enough with out having my computer crash when inputting walls? I will not be Rendering from my station

just walls? Sure! If you ended up with a complete model that was
approaching 150-200 megs, you'd need to upgrade the RAM to 4 gigs and turn
on the windows 3 Gig switch.

Version 9.1 to Revit 2008 .
you will see that it will be slower

Will the slower response be worth the added features that 2008 has? My computer is currently maxed out. I don't want to have to buy a new computer just to run Revit Arch 2008.

I have not had any slowdown when using Revit 2008 over 9.1. If anything,
it's slightly faster for be because it handles regerenartion of views and
shadows better.

And the new features of 2008 are definatley worth upgrading to.

My HP laptop has the same Spec as yours. Works great.
I use a desktop in the office for rendering large projects

me neither get no issues from 9.1 to 2008. And actually the file format is more compressed than 9.1.
In example a project of 52MB in RB9.1 after upgrade(save in 2008) went to 39MB (a gain of 25%) plus the new features are so cool....I will suggest to add some memory to your computer. 2GB of RAM is to short.
The factory recommends 4GB of RAM (on your system it will shows only 3.5GB - windows oblige.)
