I had a buddy let me test drive V3 on his computer... UH-UH. NO WAY am I plunking down money for that thing. V2 and M2 looked much better, and didn't ramrod Poser. I could barely move V3 around in BOX PREVIEW, much less full tracking. This was on a P4 3ghz with 2 gig of ram. So I could imagine what it would do on my lower powered 450mhz G4. I'm like you: I went on a binge for V2 and Mikey, and now there's nothing being developed for them. THat's okay, tho. I'm moving to LW anyway.
