That would be awesome to run AutoCAD on the 17.
That is, if AutoCAD ever comes to OS X.

So far I have run Vectorworks, form-z, and maya. Its amazing how nice the screen is. The rendering times are a little slow-maybe more ram would help this.

That's more of a video card, processor speed thing.

That would be the spectacularly mediocre Floating Point performance of the G4. Unless you're running a beta of FormZ 4, FormZ has always had poor rendering performance on the mac side of things, and running it in Classsic is even worse.

I find my 15' just big enough for archicad. I rather use my 22' cinema display connected to my pb for serious work.
Or get a 15' pb with an extra display, or get the 17'.
btw which verion of archicad are you running?

I really hate the fact that Form-z does not have version 4 out yet...I am not sure how much longer I can hold out. Maybe I should learn other software. Being my first mac and all what software do you guys use for renderings? I need software just to basically represent my studio projects and some free lance stuff that I do from time to time.

Right now I have a copy of 7 that I started to play with. Not bad...I like it.
