Re: Please advice on building a CAD capable rig

I use 3d cad on this pc see my system

SAS mite be an overkill for autocad

Quadro or FireGL would be my choice ( depends on price )

quote from Autodesk - AutoCAD Services & Support - Frequently Asked Questions

While some gaming based graphics hardware will work with AutoCAD’s 3D display features, they are neither optimized for optimal performance nor are they supported by the graphics hardware vendor for CAD use. If you encounter problems, Autodesk will not be able to obtain support from the graphics hardware vendor to fix them.

more memory is better 2gb min ( i need more lol )

the program i use only uses one core so i use a duel over a quad
( but i dont overclock ) this gives me a faster single core

Os to suit software

alot depends on budget

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
