I'd recommend 2GB of RAM if using P5, and bear in mind that your new computer will be almost as slow as your old one, if not as slow. No - I mean it. You WILL load up Poser and scenes to the point where you cn only just bear it. It's human nature and it's certainly been the case for the last 20 years worth of computer use - the faster computers get the more or better you do with them, by using the available speed to do more/better in the same time. Cheers, Cliff PS but never go back. Never ever go backwards. It's impossible to cut back on quality again, and the waiting times...gnurgh!
