I'd say go for Poser 5 as well. Since you haven't tried Poser 4 you have no expectations of how what should be like, so you might as well get all the goodies at once :o) As it has been said, 256 Mb Ram is in the low end. You can run Poser 5 on it, I've done so for a long time, untill I upgraded to a new computer this week. So now it's REALLY fun, but it's in no way unusable with 256 Mb Ram. Just be prepared to wait a while during renders, that's all. Also you should preferably be running Win2K or WinXP instead of Win98 / WinME due to the better memory-management. The graphics card doesn't matter in regards to Poser, it doesn't use ANY sort of graphic accelleration. For a lot of FREE Poser goodies, visit my site:TrekkieGrrrl.dk

You just can't put the words "Poserites" and "happy" in the same sentence - didn't you know that? LaurieA
