    I'm a student in secondary school and I am purchasing a new notebook computer on which I wish to run a cad program called vectorworks. I have quite a limited price range so the graphics card I'm looking at getting with my notebook is a nVidia GeForce Go 7400, I've read some reviews and found that it is just acceptable in running games but I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on it's 3D cad capabilities specifically. I'm sorry if this thread is in the wrong section but I saw it as the most fit category.
    Thanks
