So, about my processor - Using programs that want a better one
Regulith:
With Wedge's new topic on how to make maps in AutoCAD, I decided to use the e-mail I got from my architecture teacher for a free 1 year license (it wouldn't hurt to be able to practice and fool around with it either). My only worry was the system requirements, because my teacher had installed one of the Autodesk programs on an older, less capable computer of his and ended up literally melting the inside because it was too much to handle.
AutoCAD requires an "Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon dual-core processor, 3 GHz or higher with SSE2 technology", and I have a Pentium Dual-core with 2GHz. What would happen if I installed and used AutoCAD on my computer? Would it just be slow or would it cause significant damage?

In short: If I ran a program that wants a Pentium 4 3GHz with my Pentium Dual-Core 2GHz, would something really bad happen?

It's probably an older version of AutoCAD, but my dad has it installed on every computer in his studio, which have Pentium 4 less than 3.0ghz.

Bump.
