THEY HAVEN'T GIVEN ME A BUDGET....JUST ASKED WHAT I WANT/NEED.... I'M SURE THEY'LL TRY AND WHITTLE AWAY AT IT ONCE I GET THEM A PROPOSAL, SO I'M GONNA HAVE TO PUT MY FOOT DOWN THIS TIME. (Durn caps! Sorry!!)
I won't have room for dualies, so I'm pushin for 21" monitors ... we'll see. I want 2G of memory minimum, and I'm sold on AMD for my processor..........Mark, what you're saying is that I should stay w/ 32-bit? Would 64-bit be a problem? I'm looking for sumpin that'll last a while ... this pro'lly won't happen again soon LOL.
I Want to have 64-bit capability down the road so I'm not going to the bean-counter in 1-2 yrs needing "yet ANOTHER upgrade".... God, I hate to hear that......
However, I need complete compatability now and if there's gonna be problems with CAD on a 64-bit sys, I need to rethink this........
Thanks everyone for your insite/suggestions. It's a work in progress, due next week.
