You probably can disable the integrated graphics chip in the BIOS setup, you'd have to check the manual. Also check whether the system has either an AGP slot or a PCI Express 16x slot. If it has not, then you're stuck with the integrated graphics chip. Some business-oriented machines don't have an AGP or PCI-Express expansion slot. Warranty: most computer manufacturers don't have any problem with end users upgrading their machines themselves. Some do (IBM comes to mind). Check the warranty! Instead of four 512 Mb RAM modules you could also go for two 1 GB modules. The prices are comparable (2 x 1 GB is about as expensive as 4 x 512 MB). That way you have the option of expanding memory even further. Leave two of those 256 Mb modules in their slots, and you'll have 2.5 GB. Although applications never use more than 2 GB of memory (server applications excluded), still having more than 2 GB of physical RAM can be pretty useful. The OS itself takes up some RAM, other applications you're running at the same time take up RAM, and if you have 2.5 GB or more chances are that Poser will get a full 2 GB to play with. Hope this helps, Steven.
