Your ram is useless with 98-- upgrade to 2k or XP and pare down every piece of crap tht loads with the system-- like use classic windows rather than "pretty" xp windows. I haven't loaded my 3G puter yet, but on my 2.4 Pentium 4, 2Gs RAM, it takes 10 to 15 minutes to load Poser. This is my fault. I haven't optimised it. With P5, the 5 Runtime should be as lean as it can posssibly be-- that means Daz Injects/Rem files and Rdna Microsm files are the only ones that really need to be in there along with geometries. Then, P5 looks for objs in it's own runtime first-- you can and should consolidate all your geometries in one-- same with textures-- but put them somewhere else. run Correct reference, it no longer has to search every single runtime you have. These tips and more are all over on PoserPros tips for Poser 5 [poserpros.com] I hope SR4.1 works for you because it made all the difference for me-- very fast renders, though I still can't get it to do a Firefly one. I'm hoping that's because I haven't cleaned up the texture files. 2 3 generation models in under 5 minutes-- 1800 by 1500. I have every hope of getting three unimeshes in one render. Usually I eke out the rest in Mike 2 and Steph the original.
