Quote - so what do you folks consider a reasonble box to use poser 8 in .. or 7 for that matter?
sorry to throw this out a bit, but all this new and improved lighting has to play havoc with rendering .. or not ?

I run Poser 7 on everything from an old AMD 4300 to an i7. The same with Poser Pro and Poser 8

... On the Windows side, I use XP, XP 64, Vista, Vista 64...

All can run the programs. The i7 is the fastest Rendering. Poser 8 flies with the i7
