I've laid out & routed a board with Eagle (although for the full version 
it costs something - http://www.cadsoft.de/prices.htm ). The board had 
sram, an FPGA, a linear regulator, several connectors.

Jim at Ryerson actually machine cut the board for me. I can't remember 
exactly what the smallest trace dimension was, but I used eagle, and his 
smallest trace dimension, and it worked :)

Still, I suppose it can only beat something like OrCAD in price :P
