stoke, graphic card and sound card are the two LEAST important elements to a great Poser Rig. What is important IMO: Most expensive AMD chip you can afford, try to get one with 1024 L2 Cache instead of 512 L2 cache. Min 1 Gig RAM, better 2 Gig RAM or more. FAST Hard drive, like a 10,000 RPM Raptor, or two of them in RAID-0 Clean install. Suggest you go to RDNA and search for "Five Things" post. Also suggest you search in Poser Technical forum for "Optimal Poser Rig" Now that all having been said, the Video Card is also important, starting with Poser 6. Others I am sure will chime in on that. My 2 Cents opinion. ::::: Opera :::::
