Is she doing 2D or 3D work? If it's mainly 2D work, you can get a bargain basement video card in an average computer and it will just fine. Do you know what version they'll be using? The newer ones require a much better computer, but if you can get away with vanilla AutoCAD 2008, again you can have a dirt cheap computer run it fine.
I've used AutoCAD for years on crap computers and it's totally bareable. Once you get into 3D modeling though, things go downhill quickly.
