System Requirements - Autodesk AUTOCAD 2010 - STAND-ALONE Manual

System Requirements

The first task you need to complete is to make sure that your computer meets
the minimum system requirements. If your system does not meet these
requirements, problems can occur, both within AutoCAD and at the operating
system level.
Whether your Windows operating system is the 32-bit or the 64-bit version,
the version is automatically detected during installation. The appropriate
version of AutoCAD is installed. A 64-bit version of AutoCAD cannot be
installed on a 32-bit system and vice-versa.
