AutoCAD is processor intensive and memory intenseive. The only thing that AutoCAD would need very fast harddrives for is saving data, as AutoCAD files can get to be quite large.

I have a friend that is majoring in architecture at MIT. In their labs, they run Dell Precision Workstations with Dual XEON 3.2Ghz, 2gigs of ram and 10,000 WD Raptor drives.

AutoCAD is one of the few programs out there that can take advantage of dual processors to their fullest extent.
