With all of this good advice here is some more: 1. You do need a fast cpu 2. You could definitly use up to 2gig of RAM 3. You DO NOT need a gaming video card, a nice NVidia with 128MB RAM is sufficient. Poser doesn' like some of the gaming settings. 4. Either install Poser to it's own hard drive or partition, installing to an external hd might give you a problem. Makes Poser happy. 5. Make sure you have some good fans, both for the cpu and the chassis, when rendering the temperature will rise.

I must remember to remember what it was I had to remember.
