yeah I would say get at least 2gb RAM...my lappy has 1 and it still boots slow...

yes I know it would be too many processes in start up...bt they all seem necessary...

[Howie]

okay 2 gb... since solidworks is memory intensive.

LOL 1gig ram isnt why your laptop is booting slow.. it has to be all the stuff you have installed.. I bet there heaps of stuff installed..

get a copy of HijackThis

And check how many processes your machine is running straight after boot up..

My clean vista laptop run up instantly.. it's only d2c 1gig..
