Re: computer shopping

I will speak only to the video card. The CAD lab at our high school runs ATI FireGl v3100 (I think 3100 is right, I am going from memory here, but I know it's FireGl), but anyway, the FireGl's seemed to be able to handle the processing on Inventor and 3Ds. At first the computers were slow, but I investigated and discovered that the computers were running at 256 MB standard ram, so I deduced that it was probably not the video cards causing the slowdown. Plus, I know that the FireGl's are supported by Autodesk Inventor. Anybody else who has had experience with ATI FireGl's, please contribute your opinion on them.
