Autocad - Graphics card or processor most important?

I'm going to get a new laptop, and I currently have two choices in my price range, one has srtong i5 450 processor but a bit weak geforce 320m grapchics card. The other laptop has a weaker processor but a better graphics card. (ati hd 5650).

Which is more important when running Autocad? the processor or the graphics card?

    I believe you need a good Processor. Why don't you get something like the HP Envy 14 or 15 with i5 or i7 processor and a good graphics card, either the ATI Radeon Mobility HD 5650 or 5830. Those laptops should run it very well. It would also run better if you had an SSD (Solid State Drive which is HEAPS faster than a Hard Drive. But I think the Processor is more important than the Graphics card in this situation.
