Vue seems to like nVidia cards better than ATI cards. At least, that's my experience. It may have to do with the quality of the OpenGL drivers. Sony often uses proprietary hardware in its machines. You can get good info on what's in the machine using Sisoft Sandra 2005 (a free tool, downloadable, only a few Mb. Just google it up). I wouldn't be surprised if the machine had some kind of onboard graphics chip. 1 GB RAM isn't really that much nowadays. Upgrading to 2 GB is definitely a good move. Vue will love it. And make sure you set your page file size fixed. If the OS needs to expand the pagefile when Poser is rendering, Poser dies horribly. I'd suggest setting minimum and maximum page file size to 3072 Mb or 4096 Mb. That is large, but that will make sure the OS will never need to expand the page file size. Rendering dynamic hair in P5 is a royal pain. I haven't tried P6 at high resolution yet.
