I've been using sketch up for a while for fast exhibit renderings. I've 
also used, Alias, 3d Studio Max, Rhino, and AutoCAD.  Sketch up is by far 
the simplest and fastest out of the group for quick 
visualizing.  Currently, here at Museum of the Earth in Ithaca NY, I'm 
running one seat of the edu version (As it is available for 
non-profits).  Though it is true that it is not a detailed modeler, I find 
it a great tool for day to day designs and space layout, without being too 
hardware intensive.
