Re: AutoCAD hardware
Agreed about the memory issue. I've been observing him trying to run it on an existing workstation.

With a big 3D model you keep bumping into XP's 2Gb limit per program and there's a *lot* of disk swapping going on which slows everything to a crawl.

For that reason I'm thinking we have to start with a 64-bit system. I'm thinking a Core2 quad and possibly Quadro FX1800 graphics on a suitable mobo to carry a shed-load of ram.
