Uhm, about the system recommendations, you DEFINITELY want lots of RAM when working with P5 or P6. 256 MB is enough to start the app, but then you can't do anything. 512 MB is enough for simple scenes, but unless you have 1 GB or more it is not fun to work with. A reasonably fast CPU is highly recommended. 2 GHz P4 or better (AMD Athlon/Sempron tend to do better than Intel with Poser). Hyperthreading is NOT used by Poser 6, neither are dual core CPUs. As for graphics cards, you don't need a high-end consumer card or professional card. A decent nVidia or ATI with the latest drivers is good enough. I do most of my Poser work on an Athlon64 3500+, 4 GB RAM, GeForce 6800 machine. Which works fine. My previous workstation is an AthlonXP 2700+, 1 GB RAM, GeForce Ti4200. Still works fine, even though the Ti4200 is hopelessly outdated when it comes to games. The machine is not as fast as the Athlon64, but I can build and render pretty complex scenes with the older machine.

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