Thanks guys, I was able to get the workstation from a buddy and was able to get everything loaded on that. Is there a way to make it run faster or smoother? I downloaded the mouse tool and other options, but autocad still seems to run noticeably slower than on my pentium 4 laptop with 2 gigs of ram.
I have played with the ram allocation anywhere from 2-4 of the 8 gigs as I heard you can't use more than 3.5 for a 32 bit system and I told it to use 2 of the 4 processors as 4 isn't an option, but it just seems to be really bogged down with anything very detailed.
I'm still working on getting a 64 bit version of autocad, but until then, I'm stuck with this and I think I will probably be better off using the laptop if I can't get this to run any faster.
