new computer?

[Orange]

I'm buying new computer for making 2D drawings in AutoCAD. What is
most important component -CPU, RAM or graphic card? The budget is very
limited (500 euros), so I'll have to buy AMD Barton CPU. What other
things would you suggest?

Memory is pretty important, but only you can test the amount
needed... I suggest buying a minimum of 512MB module, and
use Task Manager to see how much peak memory is used, to
consider buying more memory. In other words I"d budget
for at least 1GB before putting more $$ into higher speed
CPU or video card.
