Re: A good, CHEAP PC for Autocad
The processer can even be as low as 733-900 Mhz, all that you (or I needed for a 3ds Max computer) really need is 1Gig of ram (even as little as 512mb will work), a nice video card, and if you plan on doing any audio/video sinc, a nice video card. I built the following for under $300 and it works fine for max (and unreal tournament 2004) .

pIII 733Mhz (overclocked)
1 Gb of RAM
256 MB Radeon 9600 Video Card AGP
SoundBlaster live 5.1 sound card
dolby 5.1 speakers
3com 10/100 fast ethernet
world connect 10/100 fast ethernet
invidea G-force 128mb video card AGP

now, remember I was on a budget and did most of my shopping on ebay, but I'm sure that if you already have windows XP, you can assemble a comp with a better processor for less than $750.
