I wouldn't think AC 2008 would that much more taxing than 2005. I'm running '05 on my T60 2.0gHz wth 1g of ram just fine, and a full install is/was still less than 300mb.
Don't know about the dongle, didn't realize autodesk still used them... I've never paid any attention, I suppose the version I have may be an 'enterprise' or 'corporate' verison that doesn't require a dongle(?) -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Anthony R.

You need to find out what type of dongle that version of AutoCAD uses. They used to be connected to parallel ports but I don't know now or for AutoCAD 2008. The X60 only has USB and Firewire ports so you would also need an X6 UltraBase if a dongle needed to be connected to a serial or a parallel port.
