biggert, I think you missed the point totally lol... Poser uses only as much RAM as it needs. The space it occupies mostly has to do with the number of and the size of the textures you are using - and of course the numbers of objects/figures using them. So try doing a scene with 5 Vicki 3's with all their MTs loaded and big textures (different ones) on each - plus bumps. And render. THEN we'll see how much RAM it can occupy! And the speed of the CPU means a LOT in Poser rendering times. :] Fish
