I don't think any computer has got that it takes to deal with poser 5. I use a rather slow machine to do development my work on, 1.7AMD w/1.5gb ram. I wouldn't dream of trying to render with it and then I have two 3.0 P4 with 2GB of dual channel memory that I use for rendering. They're both water cooled (Thermaltake AquariusII) with 4 seventy-five watt Peltier chillers on the water holding tank. I have the Mother boards (ABIT IC7-MAX3) overclocked to the max and still there are some scenes that the rendering machines can't handle. What make it really sad is, half way through a 600 frame amimation rendering poser 5 will throw in the towel and lock up. And you just wasted 24 hours of computer time to get nothing. CL really needs to address the memory issue. So if you're thinking about upgrading your machine for Poser 5...don't. Wait until CL learns how to write a program that can mamage the system's memory correctly.
