buy RAM. Buy some more ram. no no more. haha. Poser 6 will use as much ram as you have less ram means it goes to hard drive for memory use and that is really slow and can cause crashes. 2. few bugs, stable applications, there are work arounds and it's a god program. Poser 6 doesn't take over anything in fact you can keep your poser 4 and access the poser 4 runtime in poser 6 so no worries. Daz figures that use INJ probably need to be installed in the default poser 6 runtime due to INJ and the way it works. 3. I had on a desktop 768mb ram (puter died recently), laptop which I am using now has 2 gig of ram, that was the most I could throw in the box. more ram is good get as much as you can. 4. Daz figures are compatible with Daz figures. New Poser 6 Jessi and James do not take Daz textures. Poser 5 Don and Judy figures take Mike2 and Vicki 2 textures. 5. open gl is a way to see textures and handle graphics when displayed, think rendered real time image in the poser window without rendering, though it ODES have limitations. It can be turned off if your video card does not support open gl. check with your vid card maker to see. 6. any new program has a learning curve, I like poser 6 but to me it is overly complicated in certain areas and simple in others. depends on your learning curve and apptitude. 7. faster cpu, lots of memory and large fast hard drives will help poser 6 perform better, will help poser 4 also so its not bad to get the best bang for the buck you can. hope all that helps in some way.
