Wow! Lotsa good responses folks! My experience has been mostly trouble-free with Poser4.0.3 and PoserPP. If it can't find a texture or bum file, I tell it to stop looking (no crashes yet). However, if I do animation I can't anti-alias and here's why... Gateway PII @ 350Mhz 512 Mb RAM video and audio on motherboard One ATI/IDE for additional HD sockets 4 HDs all dual partitioned 60G - 20 for Win98 / 40 for WinXP 60G - 30 for audio projects / 30 for video projects 30G - 15 for photos and Poser freebies / 15 for MP3's 4G - 2 for Posette stuff / 2 for V3 External USB hub running printer, 100M zip drive, scanner and a DM2 dj mixer. One CD R/RW drive and one DVD/ROM drive. I think the key to this system working well has been the use of 8 cooling fans in the aluminum tower that I use. Computers LOVE the cold. As for ProPack, it runs a lot slower than P4 but, still no crashes. Yep, the render times are pathetic but, this old machine seems to be more stable than most Pentium4 class computers that I've seen lately. The trade off is no Poser5 or DAZ Studio until I upgrade. Keep in mind that I can run Photoshop 7, Poser 4(orPP) and Winamp all at once and still render. Oh, and I also play Sprider or Freecell while waiting for the render to finish. I don't know why these newer computers have so many problems but, no complaints here :) CyberscapE
