maybe these are the requirements for working with lines but i have files that are 10mb (only lines) and my computer has Pentium 4 Processor (3GHz), 1 GB memory and a 512 MB video card and still experiencing some lag. so u better tell us what kind of drawings are u working (do u use inserted images)?
best configuration will be 2 – 4 Gb of ram, 512 or greater video card and 3+ Ghz procesor.

how about the video card? what brand are we going to use?
i’m going to use a 3d modelling application, can you tell me what are the possible specs i must provide for my laptop not to hang up?
if you dont mind, please email me a copy of your answers to my questions because i seldom visit on this site.
thank you and more power!

In Answer to KA Janaka.
To use Autocad 2006 on Windows 7 Professional, you need to have Windows Virtual PC on it and a configured Windows XP Mode on Virtual PC. Start Windows XP Mode and then insert your Installation-CD of Autocad 2006. Install the Software as usual with your serial-number.. and then enjoy it !!!
