Talking Workstation.

What would a system require to work the fastest with software such as AutoCAD?

Dual cpu's? lots of Ram?

is a dual cpu mobo classified as a server mobo?
with the exception of the skulltrail?

would Dual Xeon Quads do the trick?
some of the cpu's are pretty expensive... but would it be worth it?
what OS would be best for this sort of stuff?
im thinking 8GB ram as well.

also what would be better... a single cpu that is twice as expensive? or dual cpu's that are half as expensive... i would think 2 cpu's would perform better... but yeah

any thoughts on what a decent system for extreme performance with autocad would be?
thankyou
