i won to know if autocad 10 (2d or 3d) runs with new semprom 140 2.7

It should run, but it'll be slow.

Usually these programs viewpoint performance is more dependent on your memory, it should be ok in the viewpoints but the render speed will be terrible, im a graphic designer and I used to work with 3D studio max on my old 3200+, it ran fine but rendering a complex scene was painful, I had renders take upwards of 18 hours for a static image

If you asking because your looking at building a system but are on a tight budget, you should definetly splurge a little bit on the cpu, for just 50$ more you could grab something like the athlon II 620 which will run circles around that sempron.

one of my GTAs was running AutoCAD9 on his old dell laptop, 3.4Ghz P4...10minutes of battery life, lol. anyway, anytime he did any modifications to his cad projects, it took him a lot of time to rotate the display (wireframe), make the changes and save. I guess I don't have the patience that he did, because I would have tossed that laptop out the window.

running, dual quad core xeons, 32 gigs of ram, quadro fx 4800 video card and a 15k HD on my audocad system at work-seem to be ok-lol

i am running autocad 2004 on my family system-p2 720,sli gtx 260/216 cards.
it seems ok to me (nothing like the one at work where i draw everything in 3d
and have 100mb drawings)

I havent played much with autocad, perhaps it viewport is more CPU intensive then 3DS Max, but with my old 3200+ I could do scene up to about half a million poly's before it really started to slow down, usualy ran out of memory long before cpu, but again the rendering time was brutal

I prefer CATIA or SolidEdge myself, both work well on older systems.
