Don't go with an ATI card for a cad workstation, ATI cards are horid for cad work, i've been doing cad for over 6 years now, every ATI system i've worked on was horible, their open GL support is very lacking, it's lacking to the point that the fire GL cards we had were worse than an MX420 card.

If the budget can afford it get the highest geforce quatro card you can get as it's one of the best cards for cad out there without spending way to much for something like a wildcat, if it can't afford it get an FX5900 card, don't get the lower end 3Dlab cards either, they are overpriced and their perfomance is only compairable with the geforce 4 ti series cards on cad apps.
