Jim, I have a 2.2 (P4M) Ghz Toshiba Satelite with 1Gb RAM, and a 32Mb Nvidia 460Go video Card. Poser 6 runs very well on it. If possible, I recommend getting dedicated, rather than shared, video ram. Shared RAM will be slower than dedicated video RAM simply because dedicated video RAM is on the video card, and shared must go through the system bus to communicate with the video card, which is much slower. I would also recommend a Nvidia Graphics card, CL worked closely with Nvidia on the open GL implementation, so it only stands to reason that Nvidia cards will be some what more stable (but ATI seems to work well too). More Video RAM means better performance as scenes get more complex, obviously 32Mb works, but 64 would be better, 128 is very good, and 256 would be great. 1Gb of RAM is a BIG plus, I had 512 on my laptop at first, and I was always running out of room and hitting the swap file (which is SLOOOOOW on a laptop). The system you quoted above sounds great. I've used Athlon's for years, and have been very happy with their perfomance. Good luck with your purchase!
