Autocad_2004 on SEMPRON or CELERON processor

Hi,
I have to buy a new computer where I have to use Autocad2004.
I can't spend many moneys so I think to buy a PC with SEMPRON or CELERON
processor with 1 GB of RAM.

Will I have any problem to work?

Thanks in advance
Andrea

 

If you are an experienced user of AutoCAD you do not want either of
these chips. You will experience very poor performance. If you are a
beginner you may not notice for a while.

 

Thanks a lot for you respons, I suppose it.
Bye
Andrea

 

Celeron processors have less Cache memory.
No matter how fast it is, as soon as calculations are needed the cache comes
in.
Not enough cache means switching to the very slow main memory, thus
resulting in poor performance.
Don't do it.
If you can't afford the money now, save for another year, than buy a new
proper system, it's worth it.

The system specs are always very optimistic, don't beleive them.
It would be a better idea to have the developers build the new autocad
version on these old wrecks.
That would speed up the software.

Regards,
Jan

 

When I was learning AutoCad, I ran into huge resource problems, because I was
making it do stupid, unnecessary things. As I gained experience, my resource
management became more rational. I would posit almost the opposite of what is
posted above.
