I understand the intel processors are alot faster, i'm not even trying to discuss that... My point is, she is curently using autocad on a pentium dual core and it runs...it doesnt run fast, sometimes not even smoothly but it runs...so my point is, would a A10-4600m make it run smoother, would it be a good improvement...yeah i know a intel SB or IB is the best and the faster...But what i'd like to know is if the A10 works or is just as crap as a pentium dual core with 6 years....
