We've tried to move to 3D, but it always ends up being more work than it is worth -- so we stick with 2D. AutoCAD LT is only the 2D components of the full AutoCAD system. > If 3D then video will still be a problem with VMware. Very true. I hadn't really thought about this. I guess because I'm more concerned with 2D work for now. But if we ever do put in full 3D CAD, I'd be better off with dedicated workstations. Still, it'd be nice if the workstations were Linux, too. :) > I would start with a AMD Athlon 2000XP with 512MB ECC DDR memory.
