Looking to spec a computer for a mate.
He just wants it for normal office stuff, watching a few dvds. But also to run CAD on it.
Quick look at the autoCad specs
http://www.autodesk.co.uk/adsk/servlet/pc/index?siteID=452932&id=14844126
This looks the important bit
Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon dual-core processor, 3.0 GHz or higher with SSE2 technology
1 GB RAM
1.4 GB free disk space for installation
Whats SSE2 Technology?
I want something that will keep him going for a while.
Would something like this be about right http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-040-OP&groupid=43&catid=1798&subcat=
or would a build be better?
TIA
