Not a major difference between 2005 and 2007 but usage of system resources and a few minor features if your laptop cant support it than use 05

I woudn't say that either program is easier or harder than the other. They both offer different things. AutoCAD is more for making Construction Documents with high levels of precision. 3DSMax is more for renderings and design.

Here's the funny thing about AUTOCAD. Not many self respecting people that paid good money for the program, license, etc, would usually give it away for free on a file sharing tool like Limewire. \n\nProblem 2: It is huge. People who are downloading and uploading with programs like Limewire are going to really tie up the bandwidth by offering such a huge application.

ECAD is I presume: Electronic Computer Aided Design. \nBest, use AUTOCAD. Its drawing designs in a comp. Its mostly used by architects. For Eg. Drawing a blue print for\nyour house etc.

Have you ever tried CollabCAD?-based on open source, no proprietory restrictions, far better software.

The most recent version is always better. All the plugins will still work with the newer. You may want to look into purchasing Paint Shop Pro X, it's alot cheaper, does the same thing, and all the adobe plugins work with it!  I've used both, and I love PSP! I've used it for creating/altering graphics for years.

I do not think there are easier programs that others concerning graphics and 3D design, as long as you familiarize with one. For low quality graphics and 3D design search www.downloads.com . For professional grapchics and 3D check out www.autodesk.com for 3D Studio Max 8.\nBy the way...the last costs about 3000$+ so, try to test it first by downloading the evaluation copy. Then you can either BUY it (oh my god...) or download it from other sources.

Cad can do either 2d or 3d, it depends on the software.\n\nSome of the programs are faily cheap( about $100 ) and quite good. I have been using various versions of TurboCad for about 12 years. I created all of the drawing for our house with it and continue to use it to design furniture.

Autocad is a 3d modeling tool.\n\nIt Design, visualize, and document your ideas clearly and efficiently with AutoCAD software from Autodesk. From conceptual design through drafting and detailing, AutoCAD 2007 enables you to explore ideas like never before. Create, edit, and develop design alternatives using realistic solids and surfaces in an updated design environment. Communicate your ideas with powerful sketch, shadow, and rendering tools, including intuitive walk-through animations. Then turn your concepts into a set of documents with the new section and flatten functionality.\n\nThe minimun requirement to get this software is to have windows 2000 or windows xp and with a space of 600 mb or more. If you got that heres the link to download it then install it.

If you are trying to buy AutoCAD inexpensively on a place like eBay, i highly recommend against trying it.  It will be useless to you because the software developer is very active in preventing distribution of its products from anyone who is not an authorized distributor.\n\nThe only way you'll know for sure is to go to the AutoDesk website and locate an authorized reseller.  If you want 2D and 3D capabilities, use regular AutoCAD.  If you only want 2D capabilities, use AutoCAD LT.\n\nIf you're looking for an inexpensive software, consider using TurboCAD.  It has a lot of similarities.

Hard to suggest a good one unless I know what you are intending to use it for.  If it is for on-line gaming that is a different configuration then if it is for Internet research and college class work which would be completely different from AutoCad design work.\n\nBest thing to do is figure out what you want to do with it and approximately how much you are willing to spend.  Then check out the sites:\n\nwww.dell.com\n\nwww.ibm.com\n\nwww.gateway.com\n\nwww.hp.com\n\nThen price compare for what you want.
