Re: Free CAD Program for Students???

I am looking for a free, or relatively inexpensive (< $50) CAD program to practice and design parts for my teams off-season activities on. I am experienced in Inventor and have dipped my big toe into Solidworks, but I can't find a near full version program I can download for free. I have considered Google Sketchup, but am unsure of its capabilities and would prefer SolidWorks or a similar program. Any guidance would be appreciated.
It would be good to know your basic hardware specs (RAM and graphics card in particular) to understand the limitations with Inventor. The latest release should run fairly well on 1 Gb memory, especially if you turn of several of the default Add-ins.
