I run on a Dell Inspiron 9400, with centrino Duo core. I've recently upgraded my RAM from 1gb to 2gb and have really noticed the difference, especially in rendering multi-figure scenes.

 It handles Poser 6 and 7 fine, although it will not preview with the shaders showing in  Poser 7  and there are one or two other issues with the preview view, mostly solved by reducing the texture size for preview rendering. These problems are due to the inadequate graphics card: when I upgrade I will pay more attention to getting a decent one, to solve this and so that I can run Vue6.

Another issue I've had is tiny insects ("thunderbugs", or I've heard then described as "wheat-flies") getting inside the screen. Dell (after some argument) replaced the screen last year, but this summer I've had them in the new one, so I suspect a design problem.

With any computer get Windows XP if you still can, and get the largest HD you can.
