This is disconcerting news considering that I recently was authorized to order a new Dell GX280 (2.8 Ghz CPU, 1 Ghz of RAM, Radion ATI 128 MB dual video card, dual threading)Computer. =20 I am currently experincing the (extremely) yard snail sluggish behavior with my Compaq Deskpro EN Pentium III, 500k RAM with AV3 intalled and the virtual memory increased to 3000 MB. As long as I have been using both AV3.x and ArcGIS 8.x. (both since they were in beta versions) the speed and refresh has always been that way. There also have been ocassions where AV3 & ArcGIS 8 worked great and moved with great refresh draw speed. I preferably like using ArcInfo 7.0 when I am able, it works faster and I can get more done. -----Original Message----- From: gislist-bounces@lists.geocomm.com [mailto:gislist-bounces@lists.geocomm.com] On Behalf Of gislist-request@lists.geocomm.com Sent: Friday, October 22, 2004 10:14 AM To: gislist@lists.geocomm.com Subject: gislist Digest, Vol 15, Issue 15

Does anyone know of any useful guides/white papers on how to set up or upgrade one's PC to make ArcGIS faster? I'm running ArcView 8.3 on a Dell (yuck) Penitum 4 (2.0Ghz) machine w/ 1Gb memory, an NVIDIA GeForce 64Mb graphics card, on XP, blah blah blah. I feel like my computer has fairly decent resources, but ArcView runs painfully slow.
Thanks for your help!

When was the last time you defragmented your hard drives? That often helps my performance. Also nVidia has a driver that is supposed to be ArcGIS optimized. Have you checked into that?
http://downloads.esri.com/support/whitepapers/ao_/8.1_Performance_Tips.p df
You can read this pdf "Performance Tips and Tricks for ArcGIS Desktop 8.1". A lot of the things mentioned in here apply to any version of ArcGIS.
Good Luck, dt=20
