I hate to disagree with Quikp51, but this isn't really true. I have a voodoo 3, and it works very well with Lightwave, Max, and I've even seen Maya running on it. For a $100 card, it performs very well. The Voodoo 5 has more ram, better texture resolution, 32Bit 3D color, and is a damn nice card. The GeForce DDR and GeForce2 are also nice cards. The important thing with 3D apps is OpenGL support, and the current Voodoo drivers have added full OpenGL support. 128 MBs is adequate, but more is better. With 3D, more is always better! :) As far as Poser goes, I don't think any 3D card will help all that much, as Poser doesn't use OpenGL. I don't know if it uses DirectX either, but from personal experience, I haven't seen any interface performance improvement with a 3D card. BTW, no consumer level 3D card will accelerate your software's rendering, they just make the 3D preview faster and look better.
