There was a 64-bit version of AutoCAD 2008?  Really?I don't think the CADforum is the kind of site that would be handing out keygens.  You're probably looking for a warez site.  You want a version of CAD that will run fast on your laptop?  What are the FULL specs?  Have you looked at AutoCAD 2011?

Is that a dedicated graphics card or an onboard graphics chip?  A dedicated graphics card, in my opinion, is always better/faster.I'm pretty sure 2008 was not available as a 64-bit app.  You must have a 32-bit version.  You might run into a couple of minor problems regarding performance on your laptop.Will you be doing mostly 2D, 3D or a combination of both?

It is slow in 2D as well?  Was it a 64-bit version?

yes, yes. you cannot install any 32bit version on 64bit OS

Well technically it is possible to install 32-bit software on a computer that uses a 64-bit OS.  I know it because I've done it on two computers.  I have AutoCAD 2004 (32-bit) running on one computer that runs Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.  I have AutoCAD 2007 running on another computer that has Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit as the OS.  You might want to look into a program called Longbow.BTW...if you have a 64-bit OS try taking a look at your folders using Windows Explorer.  Do you see a folder named Programs (x86)?  If you do, that is where Windows places any 32-bit program you load.

What version of Windows 7 do you have installed?  Is it Home Premium by any chance?  If so, then you can run AutoCAD 2008 (32-bit) on your 64-bit computer only if you utilize a program called Longbow Converter.http://www.longbowsoftware.com/Home_Page.php

There is no free version.  What version of Windows are you using?  Example: Windows XP Professional or Windows 7 Home Premium.

Longbow would be your best option in my opinion then.
