While we're at it, can we do something about people posting in red? :blink:

You can change the color it dont change my think ...

Erm don't you need hardware to run software, including Poser???  O.o

This looked like a good deal to me.. quard core, with 4 gig of ram. 8 gig would be better, and you could probably add that within your budget.

I agree, but when you buy hardware, ask you the vendor " excuse me it's for poser" ? May be he have a large laught !!!

When i buy a computer it's when i have a real need ... and no for just one software ...

Have a reflexion before answer ...

What i said seem like nothing, is there too many thread about this, just search and read, a great strenght !!!

There's a lot more traffic in the Poser Forum, and I'm sure thare are a lot of Poser users who have technical knowledge also! :)

There's nothing wrong with a member asking advice about what system they should get when buying another system. Infact I myself will be asking that very same question later this year hopefully.

I want something stylish  but affordable .........while at the same time I am looking to do my part and keep my carbon emissions low , but I don't want to sacrifice trunk space when it is time to get the kids to soccer practice .....

I agree for a technical issue Daidalos but is there too many thread about this, no need to create a new one !

Oh shit, I'm not a moderator ...

exactly.

now on with helping this person with their query

Ok i let you the way !

Dont forget to show to him the better links ... sure with your born you're a great help ...

Have a time to read the thread of Acadia too, you have a great learn ... And if the color is the problem, it's a fast way to delete it ...

Excuse, i'm french, i try to speak english like you try speak french ... I've never have the reason to be nervous, but here yes ... i try with my only know to help someone when i know ... I never said anything for nothing ... but here you made all for this ...

I hope you can said the same thing in french ... ( it's another way ... )

all that for a guy who dont know buy a computer ... What a story !!!

You're really making a bigger deal out of his question than needs to be.  You don't like the post then ignore it...it's not really that hard.

And using text colors really does make it hard on the eyes for a lot of people, no one is trying to give you a hard time about that for no reason.

Sith or not Sith that is the question ...

 anyway ive decided, im going to buy the parts weekly until i end up with a monster like this baby - cgi.ebay.co.uk/Galaxy-III-Wireless-QUAD-CORE-GAMING-PC-FAST-HDMI-SLI_W0QQitemZ290292433355QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Computing_DesktopPCs

one : you were a 'nb' once. stop being all high and mighty.
two : your as welcome as you make yourself. you came in and started throwing your weight around. bad move.

just take a breath and start over.

For my defense, when i've a question i always search, not only here, i search on share or runti** when i dont find here ...

I think we are too mature to know what and how search ... If not, too many threads are useless, sorry for theyr creators many peoples dont know read ...

We are in an adult world not in a "garderie" (in french it's the place who we keep the childrens ... )

If you're able to understand a little part of the TOS or a little part of the lines froms the oldests members against this, i'm ok i'm not welcome here ...

For the color, search what said " parler vertement" ...

**

If you know how to ... I desesperate ...

**Alll that for a useless thread ... I've all the night but i dont have time for this type of subject ...

In french ... "Prends toi par la main" If you dont understand ... 45 Magnum ...
**

ok i will learn to search forums in future ok! im sorry. but i will have a better comp than yours ha ha- i bet yours is poo poo lol! ( how imature of me)

And i'm always for deleting my account if i'm not thrus or Trust ...

**Well ... I surrender, only the Modo have the right to close my head ... ( ma gueule in french ... )

De surcrois je n'aime pas me faire traiter de frenchy par un guignol qui ne sais pas faire une recherche ou qui ne connait pas la valeur du roquefort ...  ou bien lire ...

Là oui je surrender ... A quand la modération ? ( Always in french ... )**

I'm going to delete all of the personal attacks in this thread, and hand out appropriate warnings.  So, please, knock it off. 

Just as an aside, to whomever might be reading this...Just because the thread is in the forum doesn't make it your obligation to read it.  It's not even a requirement to read ANY threads.  However, if you feel a thread doesn't belong here, etc, please contact a staff member.  Bickering in-thread is not only a quick way to get to the "personal attacks" area of violating the TOS, but it's a great way to lose face in the community.

On the lighter side........thats cool about the "no obligation to read it", I'm only able to catch part of it anyway. Otherwise I would be in trouble.......

Ok it's not an obligation ... But i read " help etc etc..."nothing else ...  when it's not an SOS ... As the view of the title someone need help ... But when you read it's just for hardware ... Nothing about Poser ( only the hard for render it's a thing who make laught ! )  ... I think this type of request have a great place on the common forum ... However who dont have read this thread cause the title ?

Again: If you have a problem with a thread in the forum, feel free to contact the staff.

If you have suggestions how things could be changed, we would love to her from you  in the relevant forum.

It's not to me to have the final request ... You're just about read ...

Back to the topic, anyone? :-)

I wouldn't suggest going to PC World for anything more complex than a USB lead, in my opinion - and even then, I'd expect to pay over the odds for it. :)

I went into my local store and asked for a demo of a printer I was interested in. They said they couldn't do it. If their service is so poor before you hand over your money, what must it be like afterwards?

Not having learned from that experience, I took along a friend who was looking for a new computer. I chose PC World reluctantly because they had a good deal advertised. When we got to the store, the good deal was, unsurprisingly perhaps, out of stock.

They have a reputation for running misleading TV adverts for about the same length of time it takes for a complaint to be processed by the Advertising Standards Association. I know, because I reported one of their more outrageous ones ("With this laptop you can surf the Web anywhere" - er, no, only where there's a wi-fi signal).

I wouldn't touch them with two ten-foot poles tied together. Your mileage may vary.

:-)

English Bob it's funny you should say that. I've heard similiar complaints about another company. I guess my brother is right. The best way to go is to find out the specifications you want, buy the hardware yourself, and build your own.

Back to the original question,  I just recently purchased a quad with 6Gigabytes of RAM.  I'm still using Poser 5 and to may surprise, all four cpus take a part in rendering the scene and it appears about 3 or  4 times faster than a single 2.0 Gigahertz CPU.  Other software that appears to take advantage of all four are Vue 5,  Carrara 5 Pro, and I think Terragen 2 Preview.  Jan

Uh - even single-threaded programs jump around from one core to the other.

The difference is at any given moment, it is only using one of them. It's not always the same one that's all.

You'll never see Poser 5 use 100% of all four cores, like Poser 7/Pro do.

If P5 is 3 times faster than on your old machine, P7/Pro would be 12 times faster.

That is why I was sort of careful in my wording.  I noticed the fact that none of my CPU's were running 100 percent or even close (when I have my task manager activated).  Jan
