Very nice, the 7600GS is a well rounded card for most applications.
How would you like to trade CPU, Mobo and Ram for my A64 3200, 2GB Transcend and GA-K8NS-Ultra?

64 bit is a major problem, have u made sure CAD will run without problems on vista?
im not sure if CAD is very heavy on a hdd but i would recommend change the hard drive's for 74 gig raptor
the performance increase is insane

Raptor's are ridiculously expensive, and not needed for CAD or general office apps.

3 x Asus P5B Deluxe IP965 Motherboard w/A8 + 2LK + FWa + SATA2
but you'll pay a premium for that mobo for office pc's?
i changed from raid to 1 raptor and its faster for everything, corel photoshop everyday appz
i dont think its that badly priced considering the performance

Might look at raptor's later, just not at the moment.
CAD loads a lot of object from the HDD, so running 2 raptors on RAID-striping would make a diff, although some reviews say RAID makes no diff on desktops due to buffer and chipset bottlenecks. My loading times in games are drastically reduced with 3 drives in Stripe Mode (Benchmarked).
Getting over 11k with a 8800GTS isn't really likely with 3DMarks06 on default settings, unless OCing or running uncertified 3DMarks drivers. Check the OBR page on 3DMarks site. The highest 8800GTS 640MB score with a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo is 11029.
