Remember that the 24 inch measurement is Diagonal. For instance, a standard aspect ratio 19 inch flatpanel is the same as a 21 inch CRT in terms of screen space.

My current system has an ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 socket 939 motherboard, and an Athlon 64 3500+ single core. This is running XP Pro retail 32 bit. I am upgrading it to an ECS AM2 motherboard (ordered and shipped), so I can go to dual core (I shudder at the thought of flashing the BIOS).

However, my dream (and drool over) system will be a Dual Dual Core Opteron, with a pair of 265s and 8GB DDR400 ECC Registered. It is listed as a Server board, though it is more like a very high end Workstation board. Poser 7 does support Dual Processors and Dual Core.

Due to my income and budget, this will be a longterm parts acquisition process. Fortunately, I already have a case that supports EATX form factor (Lian Li full tower server case).

Acadia, I hope your new system works out for you.
