My current modeling system is an Athlon64 3500+, 4 GB DDR400 Dual Channel (Transcend), 2x 73 GB WD Raptor 10,000 RPM, 2x 160 GB Hitachi 7200 RPM in RAID0, and a Geforce6800LE tweaked into a Quadro FX4000. It is about 30-40% faster as the AthlonXP in general use. It cannot handle larger scenes than the AthlonXP, since Poser can't use more than 2 GB of address space (either physical or virtual), though it is significantly faster when rendering - much less swapping. I'm considering an upgrade to an Athon64x2 4400+. Not for Poser, for Vue and Max, those apps can use multiple CPUs.
