tien While Poser 5 may TECHNICALLY "run" on a 266 MHz machine with 384 MB of RAM, it'll actually be more like crawling on its hands and knees than running. At least to do anything significantly beyond a "does this work" test. I STROBLY suspect that to get any decent use out of it without upgrading your PC first you'd have to cut back on what it does (compromise) so much that you'll see no benefit over Poser 4 (or "Poser Artist" as it is now known). If you've already got 4/Artist then I suspect you could get betetr out of it with a faster CPU and more RAM than you would out of upgrading to Poser 5 (and I speak as a confirmed Poser-5 addict who barely even looks at Poser 4 anymore).
