Well, I have to say that I am very suprised by the response here.  I wasn't sure my question was posed properly and didn't really expect such a great discussion.  This has been quite infomative indeed!

I have been a Windows guy forever.  I knew Mac's were great graphics machines but this is sounding better and better all the time.  I wish Poser came in Linux format!  I could really go for that!

So if a guy who knew basically nothing about Mac's, what would this group recommend in the way of model and memory, CPU etc.  Anyone wanna upgrade?

Thanks again for all the discussion here!!
