And upgrade your disks to the fastest you can get! Disks are often the main bottleneck. You have Xeon processors, they can handle 64 GB RAM max. If your mainboard supports it, go for at least 3 GB RAM - preferably 4 GB, then you can use dual channel - and try Win2003Server (Enterprise) for an OS. It'll make use of the available RAM. Poser still won't use more than 2 GB, it's not designed to work with larger memory sizes. I don't know about Poser 6 memory management, but 2 GB is a Poser 5 limit. Why more than 2 GB physical memory? To give other apps, including the OS, some breathing room. With 4 GB of RAM, your system cache will be large enough to prevent disk swapping while running Poser (or C4D). Still, using the fastest disks you can get is advisable. There's been quite a discussion in the Poser Technical forum about building an optimal Poser rig (see attached link), you might get some useful info there.
