Autocad based on cpu?

[ericlala]

Simple question: I am talking about on a notebook if it matters, does autocad depend on cpu only if i only do line work and none of the 3d rendering stuff?

which pentium m is best bang for buck? (kinda like how the next thing after amd 3200+ has a huge increase in cost)

we use autocad, decently well at work with a 2.66ghz p4(some machines run 2.8ghz), 512mb ram, intel gfx. the p-m 1.73 or 1.8 is probably best bang for buck actually. 2.13 is very expensive.

intel's work the best with AUTOCAD in my opinion. Pentium 4's with hyperthread technologies are perfecto

My AXP 1700 TBred OC'd to 2600 speeds coupled w/1 Gb RAM & 9600XT run AutoCAD fine.

I am thinking about getting a laptop to run autocad 2006 and I have no clue what kind of specs I should be looking at.
