Your graphics card isn't optimised for CAD btw so it may struggle in some more complex drawings...
Well, its an educational version I get that price no matter what as long as im in this school. I'm transferring to University of Washington after I earn my Physics Degree here with a Minor in math in three years. Then go for three years in University Washington, Transfer all my math credits that would make my minor to a major, transfer all necessary physics classes that are prerequisites for my Major in Engineering and work it that way, So I will graduate in U of W with a Major in Engineering and Mathematics and Graduate in my current school with a Major in Physics and Mathematics also.

Hehe, kinda confusing. But anyway......

My 8800GTS should be able to handle the graphics, ye its complex but its not like the design is going to move or anything. Its a still image but its better if I had one of those Quattro Graphics card or something.

But my school's computer was able to handle the graphics, and trust me, it was a Pentium 4 with a 64mb graphics card only. But then again, that was the Architecture version of Auto Cad, which rarely used any graphics just lines and drawing.

Also, Im going to learn how to longboard woot woot, hehe, is it any fun? Im excited but its almost winter, it will be hard to learn how to longboard, so i might wait on that.
