If you have Poser 4 or below, purchasing Poser 6 would be a great deal. If you have Poser 5, I would take the wait and see attitude, maybe wait for Poser 7 or 8. I do the same computers, went from Win 95 to WinXp (from 200MHz to 2Gigahertz). Heck, I do the same for everything I buy (except food and well--), especially automobiles-get great used ones with most of the bugs taken care of already. signed cheap, very cheap Plutom.
