Whew, Boni, that's not in the cards at all, I'm afraid. I just can't justify it for what I do. This system works great for my real design needs and our business needs (plus my husband has a 'cheapie' 400 mgz and I have an old 486 in my studio for CAM work--so YOU bring the issue up in this household LOL) and Poser/Bryce are hobbies. A new computer is down the road a bit, I'm afraid. I remember when I decided to buy the Gateway-several on the Gateway ng and list made a statement that I've taken to heart-as long as your system does what you need to do, then you don't need to buy a new system. I try reeaaaal hard to remember that VBG. (However, I do need a new video card). Diane B.
