Marky77, if you're using Poser 6 and you want to lip sync, your best (and perhaps only realistic) option is Daz's Mimic. Mimic Lite should siffice. A better option is to buy P7 (lipsyncing built in, and it works fine) and get yourself some more RAM no matter what you do. Trying to run any 3D program on 512MB of RAM is like trying to suck a milkshake through a coffee stirrer. It's almost pointless. You didn't say what type of 2 Ghz machine you had. If it's a G4 or even G5 single processor, P6 plus Mimic plus some RAM is a still a practical option, though P7 might still be better in any case. If it's an Intel Mac dual core, then you would be missing a huge opportunity for an order-of-magnitude performance boost if you didn't get P7 (and some more RAM) ASAP because P7 is optimized for that type of machine and runs immensely faster than P6 on a G4/G5 single core machine. 2 Ghz of RAM is decent padding -- I have 4 gigs, but it's on a Mac Pro 2.66 x 2 Duo Core. Your RAM should be cheaper. SS
