I am also very interested in speeding up the posing process. For that the preview uses mainly the video card right? I guess a video card that has open gl and a ton of memory is the way to go. Any good picks for vue and poser?
Yep - I currently have an EVGA Nividia 7800GTX, which is among the top end cards. Pretty soon I'll be going to an Nvidia 8800GTX (EVGA again), which is purportedly more than twice as fast. I have not had any graphical issues with Poser 6, 7, or Vue 5, 6. and in fact I've not had any graphical issues with any software of any kind. The 7800GTX is a good card, can be got from ebay for around $200.
The 8800GTX is brand new, sells for $600+.

Gareee's advice is very true, generally buying anything computer-related with the intention of upgrading it later is terribly wasteful.
