I feel for ya dude.  My new system has the Pentium processor, 2GB ram, 320 HDD, SATA. Hexagon, Carrara, Bryce, Vue, CS2, Macromedia are all running sweet on my new machine. Everything is updated. The only way I can get Poser 6 to work is to run the SR1 patch over and over again. Just Poser 6 alone and/with SR2 and SR3 crashes it. I'm pretty good at figuring things out on the system, but this one for the life of me has me freaking stumped.
