Hi, I'm a newish user using Archicad 12.. Im looking to buy a new laptop and this is the model I was looking at [not looking to go overboard on $]

Its a
HP Probook 4510S Core 2 Duo T6570
2.10 GHZ, 15.6" Wide HD
260GB Harddrive 7200rpm 2.0MP
2 x 2GB Ram DDR3 1333MHZ

Also particular feedback on the videocard..
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330 with 512MB memory?

I'm a self employed draughtsmen working on mainly residential jobs in New Zealand. Bang for buck this machine seemed a good choice, but it'll be good to get other Archicad users feedback first?

P.S. It comes with XP pro downgrade installed and win7 in case

Thanks,
Johnny

Seems sufficient for your needs. I was using a MacBook Pro with 2.16 Core Duo and 2GB until recently and it was still quite serviceable on small to medium size projects.
