| 790888 | 2009-07-12 06:50:00 | Not sure what his budget is not sure he knows himself he was talking $800 but then he's talking $500 for the graphic card alone he paid $230 for the hard drive so i am guessing around $1500 all up.He will use his old OS which is XP pro. Not sure how much Auto CAD just stuff at home current spec PC gets locked up on Auto CAD Thanks Wayne |
