lol if only my uni thought the same way.
you dont really need a 512mb video card todo cad work certainly not at degree level at least.
For the most part we use p4 2ghz machines with 512mb of system ram and 64meg mx440's and there fine. If we're really good and really lucky we get to play with the SGI's which have shed loads of everything not really needid though.

I'd seriously consider not wasting your money on a wildcat if you really did need it (3d studio max stuff etc) a firegl or quadro would probably be a better choice anyway.
