JT,

Looks adequate. AutoCAD 2015 is real picky about Graphics Cards, so you might check here:

The Acer is probably 64 bit, or someone is wasting a lot of 'RAM'.

If you have a server or file server, swap out the drive for a SSD. You really only need a 256 gb (a 128 would just make it). Or keep the 2 TB drive and make it a second with the SSD as the OS / primary drive.

I am waiting for my new sweetie:

Xeon 3.7 ghz 15 mb cache (6 core, 12 thread)
64 gb registered 1867
nvidia quadro K4000 (3gb gddr5)
500 gb Samsung Evo SSD
standard bells and or whistles - case, cooling, DVDr, usb, blah blah blah
Win7 Pro 64

CAD, Point Cloud and mobile lidar processing.

I would send you over to Xi, but they take a bit of time.

I GOT ME A DELL, DUDE!

Well, I dropped the hammer on the Dell, so I got me a DELL, DUDE! or at least got it ordered. The graphics card isn't shown as a recommended graphics card on the Acad website, but I think it will be OK, and if not, I'll get one that is. I read where some others are using it in the autodesk forum threads.
I think I'll like the 256gb solid state drive for the primary.
I hope my current machine will hold up until I get everything loaded and installed.

Thanks for the comments, etc. JT
