Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Sep 20 7:29 pm)
i still have my old trusty P4 2.4ghz (6years old) and it still does me fine, but due to a heat sink comming unglued and a memory stick giving up (all now fixed,and replaced)im now thinking on a Q6600 and P7Pro as im thinking it will be at least 6 to 8 times faster at rendering (4 cores doing 4 times as fast and 64bit doubling that) or am i wrong???? i will find this out soon as im saving up before this 'puter blows something vital
oh and never have a heat sink come unglued (not the processor one) as its not easy finding something that will glue and have good thermal properties.....
Getting old and still making "art" without soiling myself, now that's success.

A 64 bit OS isn't any faster than a 32 bit OS it just allows to render bigger scenes (when using PoserPro). With a 64 bit OS it does help to have enough RAM (prefer 8 Gb). A big and relatively fast hard disk helps. Add a reasonable graphics card (always check for proper Open/GL drivers for the 64 bit OS).
That will get you to at least 6 times faster rendering and probably about 2 times faster in other things. I do assume you will be getting Vista, make sure you set it up properly as too much added eye candy can eat away a lot of this gain in power without actually adding any functionality.
Vista 64 can be an acceptable OS but Microsoft has hidden it very well.

But the hardware is more capable in terms of moving data around -- potentially -- with applications that know how to take full advantage of it, but not Poser -- unless you're talking Poser 7 Pro ... which has "issues" ...

Absolutely. Many services are active by default that you probably won't need, and then there's the Sidebar and DreamScene ... ugh!
