Correct on both counts. I've got 3 workstations, one witn 1 Gig, one with 1.5 Gig, one with 4 Gig. The 4 Gig station is definitely the easiest on the swapfile (and that swapfile resides on a WD Raptor 10,000 RPM, the fastest IDE disk available when I bought the machine). The 1 Gig system performs slightly better than the 1.5 Gig system, the reasons are: - it's an AthlonXP2700+, that's a better processor for Poser than a P4 2.8 HTT; - it has 2 Maxtor DiamondMax9 disks in a RAID0 array, those perform better than the single 160 GB Samsung in the P4. The big workstation has an Athlon64 3500+, which also is very nice for Poser work.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
