Hi,

After my pc crashed this weekend, I want to give up and buy my first Mac. I need a machine that can run Autocad. I've got two boys in school, and I like to do a lot of photo editing. I would only be using Autocad about a third of the time. To prevent the wife from killing me, I'd like to start out with used Mac from Ebay. I have good monitor. What type of Mac desktops should I look at?

Thanks for your thoughts,

Chris

AutoCAD does not run on OS X natively. There are other CAD apps out there that will run on OS X, just google "CAD mac os x".

Of course, you could dual boot Windows XP and OS X via BootCamp and run AutoCAD in the Windows XP partition.
