Well, I don't think Poser of Vue take advantage of 2 processors...so you'll probably want one really fast processor and lots o' ram. I'd first consider your motherboard, make sure the FSB is fast, and that its got plenty of room for future upgrades (PCI slots/memory slots). Make sure its got a fast AGP port, etc. Then buy your fast processor(s). Get AT LEAST one gig of RAM, make sure its registered, don't skimp here. then from there, PSU (>350W), drives, etc. whatever you want/need to customize it. I do prefer the ATI graphics cards. but I won't go into detail about it. Evo
