Not on my iMac it doesn't!!!! The original P7 crashed repeatedly; just clicking on any node and poof P7 was gone. The backgrounds were invisible. It was so slow. Now with SR1 it's worse! First everything I loaded was totally black. It seems that 'hardware shading' worked preSR1 but not after. Rendering 2 - 4 processes caused the first bucket of each to be transparent. There must be a memory leak because after a few renders some of the textures were gone, then a long pause, then .... poof..... P7 was gone!

I went back to P6 which was not meant for intel. The backgrounds are invisible here also. After a few renders it starts rendering pure black! And of course it crashes too.

I was so upset that I set up my old G4 and am back to P6 on that. What a waste - I bought the intel just for Poser 7!!
