Software Developer Uses 64-Bit Technology to Boost Application Memory and Performance

Overview SolidWorks Corporation produces 3D computer-aided design applications that help its customers design parts and assemblies for complex products such as telescopes and electric mining shovels. Because many of these customers design extremely detailed products using large amounts of data, they need high-performance capabilities and a significant amount of memory. To satisfy those needs, SolidWorks recently introduced new versions of its applications that run on Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition. Initial test results suggest that this 64-bit support will give SolidWorks customers increased memory and improved performance, and allow them to design and create larger assemblies. As a result, they will be able save manufacturing time and lower production costs.
