Mines about a month old, Pentium 4 2.8 GHz, 1 gig ram, NVidia GeForce2 MX200 64 meg graphics card, HP DVD player, HP DVD burner, 2 80 gig drives (Poser 4 & 5 reside on one drive by themselves along with project files), USB scanner, USB printer, USB Iomega Zip drive, Wacom Intuos tablet (serial), running on Windows 2000 SR2 networked through router/switch with 2 other Win2000 PCs to cable modem. I've run Photoshop along with Poser 5 while doing textures and never had a problem. I don't do animations, and use Poser's renderer just to setup characters, clothing, and poses. I also run Bryce, Painter, Rhino 2.0, Cinema4D, Lightwave, and Microsoft Office on this machine along with miscellaneous utilities. Haven't encountered any problems yet. Only trouble I've had so far is with MAT files pointing to textures in the wrong place and it searches forever:) My runtime is over 15 gig and that's a lot of searching. I wish they'd add a cancel buttom to stop the search and manually browse to the texture. Hope this helps with your research, Mike K
