See link in my signature ot build I got made up for Vue and Poser imports :)

Hwoever since the tech is always changing, I'd consider waiting a bit and getting an i7 CPU and suitable moptherboard and RAM in the Summer time, when they hopefully will be cheaper (currenlty horrendously expensive).
they are SERIOUSLY  kick ass if you want fast renders.

Or just get a good one now and don't worry about it. Tech is always changing, its stupid to pay for the current TOP  thing, as it's always x2 to x5 more expensive than it should be, and will drop like a rock.

Using a true 64 bit app (which Poser 6 and 7 Poser aren't) on a system with tons of RAM, is so sooooooo sweet! Night and day difference.
