Re: looking for new pc
XP64 supports several versions of AutoCAD. Which one do you use? Vista doesn't run Autodesk products more than a couple versions old... I think 2008 is supported but not 2007... I could be wrong.
As for the specs, it depends a lot on your budget, but it's hard to go wrong with a Core 2 Quad box with 4GB RAM and a Geforce 8800 series. (Unless you run Revit - then it's very easy to go wrong with a Geforce and what you really want is a FireGL.) |

Re: looking for new pc
From all my research... quadro is SLIGHTLY better, like 5% better, however 200% the price which is rediculous.
Get 2x8800GT(X) and SLi them together, would kick anything Quadro has and still cheaper. |
