Organic Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Will AutoCAD (2009) run okay on the following laptop? Core Duo 2.0 GHz processor 3GB ram XP pro Quote
Ritch7 Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 should be ok, check the system requirements on autodesks site, 3GB RAM is very good, from my past exp. RAM seems to be one of the most important aspects on a system when running CAD, search for this/look at the bottom of the page, this has been asked before with laptops. what other spec's you got?

Lee Mac Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Perhaps Graphics Card might play a part if you're into rendering. You seem to be running almost the same specs as me - except I'm on Vista and running '04. - Should be OK I would think Quote
wandyhee Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 I just bought Acer Aspire 6935G and it's mainly for Autocad work. Here are the spec for my notebook: intel core2 duo processor P8600 (2.4GHz, 1066 MHz FSB, 3MB L2 cache 16" full HD 1080P acer cinecrystal LCD NVIDIA Geforce 9600M GT turbocache 1024Mb dedicated memory 3GB DDR3 500GB HDD Blu-ray disc 802.11 a/b/g/Draft-N WLAN Bluetooth 2.0+EDR Acer Xpress VoIP phone O/S are window Vista home premium 32bit everything work fine with my Autocad 2007 and running smooth except ORTHO ON/OF doesn't work on F8 key.

wandyhee Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 i did some test this afternoon, opened 3d drawing and the size is 2765kb. set it to conceptual visual style and move it using continious orbit. result, graphic not run smooth. it's staggering 0.608 second per movement. i'll do more test on my laptop.

ReMark Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 As previously mentioned, working with 3D requires a good graphics card (preferably a dedicated graphics card). Quote
wandyhee Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 3D drawing I test (2765kb) mostly done using extrude, revolve and substract command. when I tried and working on drawing in this thread: http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?t=33822 it's very light and smooth. can easily compare to sketch-up dwgs Quote
