You're right, Poser doesn't take advantage of a dual processor machine. If you run hyperthreading on a P4, it will only use half of the processor capacity. I checked, stability with HTT enabled is exactly the same as with HTT disabled, speed with HTT disabled is significantly higher. But the main advantage of a dual processor /HTT /Athlon64 system is that you can do something else when Poser is rendering! As for memory, the PowerMac G5 systems have the advantage of being able to use much more memory per process (currently it's 8 Gb, Windows can only allocate 2 Gb to a process). As of right now, the PowerMac (or Linux on an Athlon64, but you can't run Poser on Linux) has the edge on Windows systems.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
