I have a system with a twin head lcd screens, one I am using for an extended view of the library, and what dialogue windows I can cram in too. 3 gigabytes of Ram, a relatively decent video card, 64 bit OS.
I do experience a time lag with the first time I undo a figure, but not after that. So I guess there is some intelligent disk and memory chache going on. Which the more RAM there is, the merrier.

So what I do is that as soon as I start up Poser7, I delete the default figure, wait out about 8-10 seconds, and then go on working as if nothing had happened.

My point is, Poser7 is a complex beast, and lots of RAM and a good video card will go a long way. The hard disk thing too, of course. If your budget is limited, I'ld go for more RAM, then the hard disk...

still hooked to real life and enjoying the siesta!
