Hey guys I need help with a certain situation and would love opinions. I have a client that I've been working with that does Architectural work and uses of course Autocad. Over the last year at his request we've been doing upgrades to have cad run faster.

Well now I'm at a point in which I don't know what to get. Currently after upgrades he is running

P4 2.6c
2 gigs of pc 3200 ram
WD 1200jb

Reason why I'm asking for help is because I want to be able to offer a decent upgrade at not a crazy price. Of course I can get a firegl card, but is it worth $500 to get an improvement he doesn't notice?. Also I think it's not more the refresh and display, but the size of the files. Each draft he has is about 50~80 mb per file.

Any suggestions welcomes, and if anyone needs what other specs he has please ask
