The picture's rather unclear. In one test, with dual AthlonMPs, dual Xeons, and a single Athlon 1.4, the Athlon 1.4 beats everything--mainly because the test is not SMP-capable =/.

The second doesn't even have the Athlon 1.4, just duals against duals.

*sigh* Maybe not much value to you, but it's a start. I'll see what else I can find...

it will always depend on the rest of your set up, Mb, choice of ram, chipset etc.

Although it has a lot of good ideas, beer doesn't know anything about computers!!!

Hey Tomsmart,
That has got to be the best "sig" that I have seen yet! Although maybe you are just asking the Beer the wrong questions...............I'll just keep drinking and asking the Beer new questions to test this theory.

I'm not 1/2 as smart as I think I am and less than 1% smart as I tell people I am.

I would say its the P-III 1 GHz, get an Asus CUSL2-C and a GeForce2 or even a GeForce2MX on it with all 512 MB of PC133 or better RAM. the board would also help overclocking.

I would go for a strong FPU. So, Athlon or Pentium III is probably the way to go.

Also, concerning video cards, please don't get a regular gaming card, but one of Elsa's Synergies - they have line anti-aliasing, which is a MUST for Autocad.

Quality 2D Anti Aliasing is a must on your vid card.

Autocad is FPU dependent, without specific instructions that leaves you with Athlon or P3 Tualatin. (Of course, ultimately the Athlon is faster and much less expensive.)
