personally, I prefer Poser 5. Greater feature set, better library controls, improved resource handling. ProPack is my second choice -- again, the feature set. I also believe that despite what you will doubtless hear, that P5 is less buggy than P4. ProPack is sorta in the middle there, but as you are growing in poser, you'll want to learn some of the tricks to creating things, and ProPack is a better choice for that in my estimation. Regardless of the version you opt for, 256MB of RAM is too little. You did not mention the operating system you are using, which can make a difference as well (poser again runs better on windows 2000 or later for wintel systems). You will want to increase your RAM, as Poser does not, at this time, take advantage of your video card. RAM, in your case, is all important (and evenutally you'll want a second hard drive, too, lol). Once you get it, though, come on over to RDNA, too -- we gots lots of neato stuff...
