OH! BELIEVE ME!!! Autocad can lag! even on my home computer that is running a amd64 3200 with a quadro FX 1000 graphics card and 2 gb of memory. (i built this computer specifically to run CAD) once you get up to 27,000 KB Autocad Drawings with 2000+ 3D objects, each detailed down to the threads on the bolts and the individual links of chains, your computer will lag with AutoCAD. it can take up to 3 minutes to just load it into autoCAD not to mention the 3-5 second lag in between EVERY frame when rotating it.
