I had a customer that had been running autocad on a 133 intell with 32 ram and a 4 meg video card...Yes it was slow but run able...
She ask me to build a system on a budget for autocad...
I built up a AMD k6-3/450
64 meg ram
8 meg AGP ATI video card...
with other standard parts....
She was happy as she could be with the system....I told her it would run even better with more ram, but that was out of the budget.
Autocad needs....RAM more more more
processor and about a 8 meg video card....
alot of people say ATI make a good cad video card....
The other program 3d studio MAX Director will run good on a system that can handle autocad good...3D studio works the processor alot, but I have see all these programs run good on P2 300 mhzs with 64 ram....I think you will probably be in good shape...
