Since I've had V3, I've had far fewer problems with Poser (4) locking up on me - but then, I rarely load all the morphs, just the ones I plan to use - and I've more or less given up on clothing objects - I draw my own in post (ditto hair)! It was a case of having to, to begin with, but now the postwork is my favourite part of making pictures! V3 with the basic head and body morphs works really well for me - haven't touched V2 or 1 since I got her. This puter is three years old in August - it's a 733 Packard Bell with (I think, it varies according to what the hubbie's put in it or taken out of it) 512 meg of RAM. I also use a nifty little piece of free software called Rambooster (easily found using Google). It's telling me I currently have 133104 Kb of RAM free - which I find is more than enough to render V3 with several morphs. V3 is just so versatile - look in my gallery if you want to see some of the things you can do with her and nothing else - most of my pics consist of a single V3 and postwork. (Although I usually use an invisible ball for pointing her eyes at!). To tell you the truth, I am so addicted to V3 that I can't understand why anybody would want to be without her! I can see she'd be a pain if you're into multi-figure renders, but she works great for what I want!
