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.
