I can't imagine why someone would recommend the 13c3 version of
AutoCAD!  R14 is much more stable and faster.  I'm sure you'd be better
off with Softdesk S8.  I'd also check out 3D Studio VIZ instead of MAX
if you are primarily doing architectural modeling and animation.  If you
start out with 64mb ram, I suggest that you do it with 2 32mb simms,
leaving 2 slots open for expansion.

Enjoy!
