Yeah, I'm waiting for Panther to come pre-loaded as well. The 64 bit whether on Mac or PC will do nothing for Poser- "applications need to be optimized for 64-bit computing to take full advantage of the architecture" However, Photoshop has already been modified, and Apple is seriously encouraging these advantage updates- "To help that effort along, third-party programmers can download a free set of development tools from Apple's site" But you don't have to wait for software to be optimized- The new Macs allow tons more RAM, up to 8 Gigs, and that DOES affect how Poser works. Plus the system chips themselves are faster now. "Apple has matched the G5 chip with a 1-GHz front-side bus per processor...for a total FSB bandwidth of 8 GBps.... You can load a G5 with up to 8GB of 128-bit, 400-MHz DDR SDRAM..." I feel the need for speed. evil grin
