CAD and graphics
applications are characterized by loading large files. In this case the access
time of the drive isn’t as critical as the transfer rate. A 40ms or 28ms drive
would certainly be adequate, but the drive should be an ESDI drive and if possible
should be used with a caching disk controller. A disk cache, software or
hardware based, will usually speed up disk operations in a CAD/graphics system
more than the same amount spent on a better quality disk drive. In a budget
system an ST-506 controller could be used successfully but a 1:1 interleave is
desirable.
The final
element is of course the graphics adapter. The type of graphics adapter needed
depends on the nature of your application. If you can avoid using colour then
the speed of any graphics operating will be much higher. Indeed there is an
argument for using monochrome for any stage in the application for which colour
isn’t essential and then switching to colour for finishing. The minimum
graphics standard needed for CAD/graphics is VGA or Super VGA. The main problem
here is in getting the speed needed to redraw the screen in a time that makes
interactive graphics interactive. A better solution is to use an intelligent
graphics adapter either based on TIGA or 851/A and even here an MCA or EISA bus
would still be an advantage.
Intel have
introduced a special version of the 386 and 387 co-processor-the Rapid CAD chip
set-optimised for graphics. Benchmarks show that replacing a 386/387 pair by
Rapid CAD chips halves the time it takes to render a complex image. For simple
images the speed gain is much less. Another way to look at this is that
RapidCAD converts a 25MHz 386 into the equivalent of a 33MHz machine and 33MHz
into a 25MHz 486. Rapid CAD can be fitted without any modifications to the
machine.

The detailed
specification of a CAD/graphics machine depends very much on the exact software
that you are using, but the general nature of the machine is very clear. The
high use of the CPU and co-processor (as long as the software supports it)
suggests that a 486 is the best choice. Memory requirements suggest that 4
MBytes of extended memory is a reasonable allocation, although programs such as
AutoCAD can put up to 16 MBytes of extended memory to good use. The motto seems
to be the more the better apd so for a CAD/graphics machine it is important to
check the maximum amount of memory that can be installed on the mainboard or
using expansion cards without loss of speed.
