Best to configure with the future in mind and not necessarily what you're running at the moment. Maybe quad core is worth considering.

1st of all what's your budget? $500? $1,000? $3,000?

I would also advise getting as much RAM as you can afford (2 GB is minimum for CAD these days). RAM is like money, you can never have too much. Right?

Yes and no. Certain applications and OS's don't support over a certain amount, or if it does then it doesn't utilize it all. So the only thing you might be sacrificing is extra money spent that isn't used.

But yes, the more RAM the better, always. :)
