" bought a emachines AMD Athelon 2800+. Runs Poser with the ability to actually render a scene with more than one figure in it in less than an hour. !!! :)" You're kidding right? I've got a AMD Athlon 2400+ that can render a complete poser scene (4 fully textures & clothed figures and a complete high resolution interior) within 20 minutes with good quality settings..... I would go with AMD, my father-in-law has a P4 2.8Ghz and when it comes to rendering and such, his P4 can just barely outrun my Athlon which only runs at 2.0Ghz.

Artwork and 3DToons items, create the perfect place for you toon and other figures!
