to the "Enable/Disable Digital signature Icons" section of the Acad Icon
choices. (right click on the Acad Icon) UNCHECK the box. It helps when
scrolling through the directories when opening a drawing or looking for a
block or something.

me if I'm wrong, but you don't need the 3GB switch in a 64 bit OS, do you? It
is supposed to address much more RAM automatically for native 64 bit
applications.

You are correct, Owen. The /3GB switch does not
exist for 64 bit operating systems. Native 32 bit applications will address
the full 3GB automatically on a 64 bit OS.
With that being said, nobody has mentioned
that the user is running AutoCAD 2010 which does have a native 64 bit
installation on a 64 bit operating system. There shouldn't be any
performance issues whatsoever with this rig.

So, in other words, AutoCad has gotten so full of
crap that it's almost impossible to get any performance without breaking the
bank on the hardware.

Did you read that anywhere in my post, Jamie? I
said that you're running a 64 bit operating system, on which the /3GB switch
doesn't exist - which is not the fault of Autodesk...for that matter, it's not
anyone's fault, it's how the system just *works.* AutoCAD does have a
native 64 bit installation, which you should have noticed during install
(check to see if Autodesk folders exist in C:\Program Files or C:\Program
Files (x86) to verify.) Other than your video card (which is not listed as
supported nor even tested for any AutoCAD based product) you have fairly good
hardware. So in other words, you're getting more performance out of AutoCAD
than most, and no memory switch is going to assist you in stretching that even
further.
