I don't consider my set up to be high specs - 800 MHz, 384 MB RAM - by using an Image based light and 1 other for shadows I've been able to do better than with Poser5 as long as I don't go to high on the render settings (I had to watch that with poser5 as well) I've only had memory problems with Poser6 the once when I had four figures, clothing, scenery all with high res textures etc and rendered as high as I could go. PS I'm running on Windows ME - I thought I would have to upgrade to XP, But no Poser 6 did work to my delight.(My only worry is a service pack might add features that means it only works in XP) Nigel
