I own a Pentium II 350, Dimm 64. My main area of work is pumping technologies using AutoCAD (2000, Mechanical and Arquitechtural) and image programs (PaintShop, Adobe, etc.). However my PC is nowadays with a very slow performance which difficults quite a lot my own performance. I also would like to purchase a CDRW and maybe a new Graphics Card (if necessay)and a new Hard Disk (the current one is about 8 Gb). Can anyone advise me on this?

Thanks everybody for helping.

The first thing I would check is whether or not your motherboard would support a processor fast enough to make upgrading worth while. Going from a 350 to a 450 won't make a very noticeable speed difference. With the current low cost of DIMM's, increasing your RAM might be the way to go, especially since AutoCAD 2000 is quite a resource hog (where I work we have at least 384 Megs RAM in our computers that run AutoCAD).
