No he didn't say the other video card would improve render time, he said that if I was having the lock up problems it was because of the model video card I used and that the 8000 series was known to have problems with Poser (which if this is the case why is it not on their website with their system requirements? as I said to them I went out and purchased this video card to have Poser work better since it fit in with all the requirements?! They said they will add it, I'm not holding my breath) something about they can't tell you specifically which video cards are the best for it, which I don't understand, but he did sound like he knew what he was talking about. I have read that people have had problems with the series but adding Poser to the nvidia settings seems to fix most peoples - if the line of video cards cause problems generally in Poser they should have on their site about it, but I'm getting the feeling they want people to think it works on everything so they can't be blamed.

So I guess I should hold off on the video card. I just don't know if I should go for a processor or vista 64 bit so I can add ram eventually. I could wait for Windows  7 but will it be better then Vista? You always hear you should wait to get a version of windows until it's been out for awhile to hear about all the problems and wait for updates lol. Hoping maybe i can at least afford a quad core I would assume that would make a big difference. Gotta check Tiger Direct:)
