Please post your Vista/Windows 7 Performance Reports here so others can review and decide the hardware they NEED/WANT to purchase for Revit. I've read this question over and over, but there is a standard way to do this in Vista/Windows 7. Start - Performance and Information Reporting - Click View / Print Report - SCREEN SNIP save and attach. Running Revit 2009 64-bit. Edited on: Thu, Jun 25, 2009 at 11:43:57 AM

If you click the View and Print details before you screen Snip we can see the Processor Speed, Type and other important specs about the system. To compaire with others.

This system has been having issues with a 140MB project in Revit 2009, takes alot of time to save the file sometimes up to 30 minutes. Windows Vista 64-bit. It was on a 100MB connect so we've moved it to a 1GB switch. I will post if that fixes the issue. However, my cad manager just told me the project has 800 warnings and that could cause the issues in performance. Does anyone have this issue? With warnings and poor save times on a system like this?

curse! I would recommend boosting your RAM right NOW!!!! You only have 2 GB and if you are running Vista 64 it is using all of your ram and leaving none for Revit. I recommend 8 GB minimum. I have found the larger the project, the more RAM you need.

The Ram is ordered, we tried to put more in but found we need ECC and none of the local companies carry ECC. However, we did add a 1GB jump drive with readyboost. Amazingly this solved our saved times from a true 12 minutes after adding just 1 box to less than 1 minute. This project is 140MB but Revit commits 1.9 GB of ram to the project. As stated above and other places the need for RAM in revit is a major issue, keep your swap files small but your Ram high. We do have many Duel Quadcore's with 8GB Ram which run perfect just havn't upgraded the older systems. If you need to add ram or can't add anymore try readyboost. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/features/readyboost.aspx FYI it's "ReadyBoost" not readyboot, I think alot of people were told it was readyboot to speed up your booting, but it's really just ram Edited Added 2 more GB of Ram and it helped, but still loads even from HD slow. Not 12 minutes more like 2minutes now. Edited on: Tue, Jun 30, 2009 at 5:25:09 PM

It allows you to add ram with Jump drive (Flash Memory) like your camra or PDA/phone use. However, the speed of the flash memory does matter, most newer flash drives work fine. Windows will test and tell you if the Flash memory or drive is fast enought. You can only use 1 drive at a time so I'd try a 2GB or 4 GB card. If using a 1 GB card you are suggested to have atleast 850MB free. Let us know how it works out. Attached is the same system performance report as above with 2GB of DDR2 ECC Ram added.

Just looking throught the scores for Memery(RAM) 2GB= 4.9 another was 2GB= 4.7. i personaly also have 2GB but my score is 5.0, not much of a difference and understandale with different types of RAM. But 4GB=5.9 and 8GB = 5.9 !! how does that work, does it max out at 5.9? I am looking at geeting a new computer soon and was wondering how much Ram i would get 6 GB tri-channel is what i am thinking. EDIT__Just looked up the max scores Vista only goes to 5.9 and Windows 7 goes to 7.9 For Windows 7 i looked at some scores and a 4GB system got as high as 7.3 and one 2GB sysetem got 5.5. Not a good scoreing system if you ask me...
