Sketchup faster on mac book pro under Win or Lion
-
I'm trying to find out wheter SKetchup does perform faster on a mac book pro with 8 GB Ram under Lion or under Windows 7 using Bootcamp due to being able to use all 8 GB of RAM compared to running under Windows...
Can anyone help me with this matter? Thanks,
Christian.

You probably won't be able to use 8 GB RAM because SketchUp is in both cases a 32bit application (as far as I know) and can only address 4 GB (assuming a 64bit OS).
Since you are comparing both environments on the same hardware, there might be differences depending on the quality of the 3D graphics driver that is available for this hardware. You might try the following command in the ruby console (on a complex model):

Thanks aerilius for the fast answer and the info. I didn't have time to find out more about this topic but tried to export a big Modell into jpg with high resolution and was impressed by the result... Many times faster under win 7 than under lion???
