I have a Dell 2.4Gprocessor, 2GRam, 120ghard drive, Wacom tablet, and Nvidia 4 something. You are making me very jealous with your puter speed.;) I run Poser 5 exclusively. I have so much stuff it was taking me over an hour to move stuff in and move stuff out of libraries just to work. Now I have it all at my fingertips. Caveats: I don't use the face room, just learning the Materials room, use almost exclusively dynamic hair-- pre-built,the Rdna ones that are made to render fast and they do, I'm having problems with my old transmapped hair nad could use some help getting it compatible-- looks too flat. I also don't use the cloth room yet, one learning curve at a time for me. I've been using it-- a week and a half. The learning curve, if you've been keeping up with all the info in the forums-- here and at PoserPros-- is not quite as steep as I thought. Raytracing for reflections and water are next on my list to learn. Then Atmospheres/ volumetrics. Clothifying sounds like a pain, but it may be a good way to fit clothes on V3. I'm waiting for the perfect tutorial. Vicki 3, so far, eats the most memory-- Vicki 2 renders are very fast. But I think you have enough to take her.:)) I won't go back to the mish mash of Pro Pack, which was more stable than P4. I crashed every day on every project in ProPack--work two or three hours, it would crash, plus all the librarie headaches. Only crashes in Poser 5, so far, have involved trying to cancel a render-- you can't, don't try. I haven't run into the lights that crash P 5 yet but I suppose I will, and I'll remove them as I find them. Other than that, I love the program. Emily
