Recently i have installed AutoCAD, Inventor and Autodesk 3d studio, i have noticed that my computer runs considerably slower after this. Will it help to get a better graphics card, or more RAM? Any suggestions would be apprecaited!
 
Gigabyte GA-85648FX-L motherboard
intel P4 2.8Ghz processor
2* 256 DDR PC3200 RAM
80GB samsung HDD
Gigabyte radeon 9200SG video card

i take it that my video card is farely standard? as it came in a pre-built system?
 
RAM definately... Most Autocad are pretty resource heavy... I would look into at least 1GB, if not 2GB of ram... better graphics wouldn't hurt as well, but ram is your killer here...
 
ok thanks. looking at my mother board i have 3 spaces for RAM or as its called on the sheet Memory Module Socket, currently 2 are being used. if i bought another 1 can i just plug it into the free socket and it shoould work? what types of RAM is available, i notice its got (DDR) in brackets does this mean anything?
