cad station im talking about will be used for industrial machinery designs, i believe 3d might be needed as well.
as i understand cpu+ram the most important in this case. Maybe i can as well go with Athlon XP instead of expensive P4 ?
my thoughts of minimum for autocad workstation:
cpu: p4 2.2ghz
ram: 512mb pc2700 ddr
mboard: i845e
video: FIRE GL Z1 or NVIDIA Quadro4 XGL ?
hdd: 60gig ata-133 or scsi ?
monitor 19inch
something else ?
tell me if it's right or wrong and which spec is better/cheaper in your opinion.
