Like I've said previously- Big difference between "Should Work" and "Works Really GREAT". I prefer "Works Really Great", but DAZ has to TRY to make as many people happy as is "reasonable" and with what they can AFFORD, of course. But computers are relatively dirt-cheap these days- and if you want "professional Results", get a "Professional Machine/OS" Otherwise you just be limping along. DAZ Cannot say that, ---but I CAN! I got my systems with where DAZ STUDIO is GOING. Not where ANCIENT POSER was in 1992! Still like user P4 PP (and it runs GREAT under Win2K with 512MB) But DS will be primarily "Geared", as new DS Plug-In will reveal, mostly for SERIOUS Posaholics and Pros! WIN98 and 256/384MB RAM ain't gonna cut it!
