Well, Poser 7 supports multi-processor rendering but it doesn't support 64-bit address spaces. These are two different things.  Multi-processor rendering just means that the render engine will subdivide the task among the available processors.  64-bit address spacing would mean that Poser could address vast amounts of memory for complex scenes (id est: at least several hi-res figures).

This is basically apples and oranges.  MP doesn't mean better memory support for large scenes.  What is needed is Poser 7 64-bit (yah, right).  Don't expect speedier workflow in this respect on a 64-bit system and OS - not gonna happen yet!  With a native 32-bit app, you are actually losing speed because most 64-bit processors are slower than the best available 32-bit processors! The speed gains are in addressing space for 64-bit systems and since only render engines utilize the multi-processor/core CPUs, you won't see any advantage in the basic interface...

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
