Poser (4,5 or PP) does not use OpenGL acceleration, however get the OpenGL 256mg card anyway, future versions will have to get video hardware acceleration and DAZ Studio is using it already not to mention every serious 3d app out there.Windows XP Pro is good, it have yet to crash with it and I do pretty heavy graphic work. The faster processor will speed up rendering. 4 gigs or ram is a lot but it will help with very heavy scenes, and also with apps like Photoshop which require a lot of ram.I usually put as much ram as the motherboard can handle when I buy a system, and it's cheap right now.
