Processors for AutoCad 2004
Processors for AutoCad 2004
(OP)
I am looking to purchase a laptop to run AutoCad 2004 and also Revit 6,however I am on a budget of less than £1000 (which includes the VAT).
I am confused with Celeron, Athelon, Centrino in comparison with a true Pentium 4 processor.
We have pentium 4 1.5 Ghz machines in work which handle AutoCad quite well but also a Pentium Celeron 2.2Ghz that struggles with AutoCad which leads me to believe that this is a cut down version of the pentium processor.
Does anyone have any good advise or better still point me in the direction of an article comparing processors.

You can start from here http://www20.tomshardware.com
The fact that your Celeron 2.2Ghz struggles with Autocad is not a consequence of Autocad's needs. You should take your time to "clean" and re-arrange a little bit that computer.
As far as I know the latest versions of Autocad should work well on any processor faster than 1.0 GHz

Heck, the Athlon64/Opteron processors are probably the fastest AutoCAD processors out there. I know they are for Solidworks but haven't looked to hard lately for ACAD as I don't use it much anymore.
