We are going to be upgrading to Auto CAD 2008 and hopefully Civil 3D 2008 and are wondering what we need for our computers to affectively run these programs. Autodesk lists minimum requirements, but we would like to know what would make us most effective. Currently we have several different work stations and they all have different stats. We are using AutoCAD 2007 and not all the computers can run it efficiently. We will be buying some new computers and want to get what is most beneficial. We want/need to start using more of the GIS applications. If anyone could make recommendations on RAM, Processors, Graphic Cards, and Hard drives I would really appreciate it.
