To keep things simple i would choose a 40GB partition and format it as NTFS (Again the Assistant shows how this is done)What I was trying to explain regarding Fat 32 vs NTFS is simply with both you can access your Windows files when your using Leopard, but you can only write to these files if the Windows partition is Fat 32.
CAN I RUN AUTOCAD 2006 ON A MAC INSTALL
When you first open bootcamp (Click Finder then applications on the left pane.Under applications double click Utilities then under utilities double click Bootcamp Assistant)It advises to print the directions ( if she doesn't have a printer set-up set, ask a bud to print it for her)The directions are very straight forward and the Assistant guides you through each step from first choosing a partition size,choosing the correct partition to install Windows on,formatting the partition and finally installing the drivers from the leopard disk. The directions in that link are outdated a bit.You no longer need to burn a disc for drivers as they are included in the leopard disk. I can run you through step by step getting the install done,it really is easy to do.Also regarding the Windows partition,if your daughter is computer savy and wants to read/write Windows files from the Mac side than use the default 32GB partition size as this is the largest that can be formatted as FAT 32 required for the read/write facility.NTFS partitions can only be read on the Mac side and if you don't need to 'write' to Windows files I would recommend NTFS as it's more secure,faster and you can choose a larger Windows Partition.I would recommend 40GB to make sure there's room for AutoCad files ect.
CAN I RUN AUTOCAD 2006 ON A MAC PRO
So first find out which AutoCad and if the Pro comes with Leopard pre-installed,it should actually as I can't imagine that brand new issues don't have it already. Yeah, for 2D CAD drafting, the cpu is the most important thing for speed, so I spend more on the CPU than GPU as well. That will vary depending on exactly what kind of design you are doing. So anyway even if you bought a new PC you would still have to get one that still offers XP or hunt for XP drivers and such to run XP and AutoCad.In this respect it is easier to use Bootcamp to install XP as it includes the drivers required for your Intel based MacBook Pro. When I build a AutoCAD box, I basically build a gaming PC with a slightly cheaper video card than processor.

Only AutoCad 2008 is supported under Vista,so any earlier editions require XP to run,which incidentally has angered a great many persons including myself who use AutoCad for work. Yes absolutely,Leopard will be pre-installed or it will include the disc.First find out from your daughter which AutoCad version will be used.
