[QUOTE="lzasitko, post: 36557"] [b]Same here[/b] My desktop is a Athalon 1800+ 1 gig of ram, a 30gig hd and a 80 gig hd, 64 meg video card. I did some tests using a progra, called Floorplan (home design) and tests were interesting. XP is a hog for memory and I have had my share of issues with it, I find that I have to reboot as XP with some programs does not release memory. I can't really compare now as I have Autocad 2005 on the desktop and 2002 on the PB. When I find some time I will install 2005 on the PB and see how threy compare. I will be out of town on business for a couple weeks and using both the desktop and portable so will know in a few weeks how they really compare. But under 2000 AC2002 is alright.
