Poser will use 4 cores maximum.
There is a way to utilize all 8 cores: VMWare Server (free download from www.vmware.com) Runs under XP 32, maybe there's also a Vista or XP 64 version (haven't checked lately)
VMware allows you to run several virtual computers, each with their own OS, on a single hardware box. You can run one instance of Poser per virtual machine, and you can assign processor cores to virtual machines.
The virtual machines are connected over a (virtual) network, so you can easily share runtimes using network shares.
When using VMware for multiple Poser instances, I'd recommend running one Poser instance on the physical hardware, using that instance for scene setup etc, because the "virtual" graphics of VMware virtual machines have a much lower performance that the real physical graphics hardware.
The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
