My current system rocks! 2.8 Ghz Intel P4 Win 2K Asus P4C800-E Motherboard 2 GB Corsair TwinX matched memory 2 x 80GB Raid 0 HDs, plus 1 x 120 GB "backup" HD ATI 8800 FireGL Video card (for Max, really) 21" Philips monitor Poser 4, PP, 5 (mostly use 4) Plus my "old" computer (AMD 1.4) is networked to it and accessable via a KMV switch. Biggest advantage the Intel chips have over the AMD ones is they run a lot cooler, I can't hardly stand listening to the noise of th efans in my old box, anymore. AMDs might be faster in Poser though, dollar for dollar. Macs don't do very well dollar for dollar, either, but I used to like the O.S better when I had one on my desk... ;-)
