Not much in terms of the hardware needs of AutoCAD 2011 has changed over the past 3 releases other than supported Operating Systems.

I will try to not geek out and confuse you on this post. With AutoCAD 2010 there is an AutoCAD 2010 System Requirement to have a CPU (essentially the computer’s brain) with SSE2 support.
