I'm setting up my own business, and I have to buy a workstation for: 1. Auto Cad (for design in 2D and 3D). Accordig to the Auto Cad site, I'll require: Intel Pentium 4 processor or AMD Athlon, 3 GHz or greater; or Intel or AMD dual-core processor, 2 GHz or greater 2 GB RAM or more 2 GB hard disk space available in addition to free space required for installation 1,280 x 1,024 true color video display adapter 128 MB or greater, Pixel Shader 3.0 or greater, Microsoft® Direct3D®-capable workstation-class graphics card 2. And a software for administration: for invoices and other documents. Does anyone have any experience using a Mac Pro for this application? I don't want to come back to Windows...  Thank you. 
Mr. Daniel |

Mac Pro & AutoCAD - MacNN Forums http://www.macworld.com/article/1599...autocad11.html Hang on to those original install discs like grim death! Using OS X.7 or later make a bootable USB thumb drive before running Installer! |

It looks like Autocad 2011 works perfectly on a Mac... I'll ask for help to an Autocad distributor. Mr. Daniel |
