Geoff,
Autodesk products work best when connected to standard hardware. Stay with the Intel procs and put some money into video card(& video ram) and RAM. Memeory is cheap now (not so long ago $1/meg) so load up what you can. Dual procs may be unsupported for some of the stuff you want to do. If you can swing it, a dual motherboard with a single proc right now may be a better way to go. Check the Autodesk site for recommendations on system requirements.
