The 3.2GHz P4 will certainly help Poser 5, but the HT will do nothing for it. Everything else sounds good. Video card really doesn't do that much for Poser (esp. in the OpenGL end). For Poser 5, the three most important things are: 1. CPU power (GHz) 2. FSB speed 3. Amount of RAM Sounds likes you're covered. WinXP plays pretty well with Poser 5 if you get SR2 or SR3. But, recent speed comparison benchmarks have shown that Win2000 has a slight edge over WinXP. I haven't had any "component incompatibilities" with Poser 5. My first machine with it was a Gigabyte mobo, 2.53GHz Pentium 4, 1GB PC2100 RAM, GeForce4 TI 4600, Win2K Pro - all component built. The current machine has an Intel Server mobo, 2x 2.66GHz Xeons, 2GB PC2700 RAM, GeForce4 TI 4600, WinXP Pro - all component built.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
