ram is the problem you can either get more ram or you can get a memory management program (they're a lot of them free..like rambooster) for those of you thinking its anything else, remember poser 4 came out YEARS ago..back when 32megs of ram was too much and 100 mhz processors were considered fast. I find it odd that those with computers now think that a 500 mhz processor isnt enuff for poser...hell, if I'd have had a 500 mhz processor at the time poser was released, I'd have been 'stylin'..lol I remember this because, I actually considered buying an sgi machine back then.they cost 13000 bux and they had a 500 mhz processor. I thought that would be just too cool. I use a 500 mhz processor and windows me now and I 3d like crazy with poser, bryce, and lotsa programs open at the same time. I do have 384 ram tho and rambooster. BT
