    I'm looking at putting together a Dell Inspiron 6000 for CAD and Office use.
    1280x800 should be fine for the resolution, but I'm not sure if the
    integrated Intel graphics will provide enough grunt. Would a Radeon X300 be
    a better bet for CAD or should the integrated solution suffice?

    The answer to this question would depend on the type of CAD being done. The
    onboard video should be good enough to handle most 2D Cad but if you are
    doing 3D Cad i would definately go for the X300.

    Depends on the CAD you are doing as well. If it's all 2D AutoCAD stuff,
    don't even worry about it. Generic video would be fine and anything else
    would be slightly better. When it comes to CAD, only two things really
    matter: monitor and memory. Large CRT monitor and LOTS of RAM, max out the
    motherboard.

    You don't even seem to need surfaces, right? Low entity count too?

    Civil 3d uses surfaces. I don't understand your question, I guess. Define
    low/high entity count, and I will check a few of my drawings.
