Actually, the memory issues are one thing they are supposedly fixing. They've made a lot of improvements so far with their SRs; if Poser 6 is not going to be a major change, I'm hopeful that they can make further improvements.

One reason Poser's so hard on the system resources is that it's such an old program it doesn't take advantage of newer technology. You can have all the video RAM in the world, and it makes no difference to Poser. If you have two processors, Poser only uses one. Hyperthreading makes Poser slower, not faster, because it's not designed to work with it. I suspect Poser isn't fully taking advantage of the power of the newest versions of the Mac and Windows OS's, either.

CL really isn't the same company it was when it released Poser 5. e-Frontier seems to know what they're doing. I'm hopeful that they'll do as good a job on Poser as they've done on Shade.
