I am sure you can NOT compare Ghz to Ghz between Intel and AMD. AMD gets much more computing power per Ghz. For instance, the Athlon64 3500+ performs roughly equal to a P4 at 3.5 Ghz, but its actual clock speed is only 2.2 Ghz. So there's a good chance that the Turion will perform as good as that P4 3.2 Ghz. Poser tends to perform better on AMDs than on Intels. Has to do with the long floating point pipelines on the P4. Only a few applications have been optimized for the P4 pipelines (3DS Max for instance), and Poser isn't one of them. You might want to check out IBM. A colleague of mine has an IBM laptop with a fantastic screen, and an ATI FireGL graphics chip with dedicated video memory. And a 7200 RPM disk. A wonderful machine, blazingly fast and very stable.

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