I agree.  Because I have a habit of making heavily loaded scenes and rendering big wallpapers, I will sometimes run P8 out of memory, in which case I switch to Poser Pro.  Pro is slower, but has that great 64bit RAM capacity.

But as long as I don't exceed 32bit RAM limits, P8 renders much faster and the results are noticeably better looking.

And I would also be in the category of not having had trouble with P8.  I have P8 on five machines (two 32bit XP, one 32bit Vista, two 64bit Vista) and P8 is running well on five out of five.

An idea for improvement occurs to me.  Since I often use the same scene in P7, PPro, and P8, I think that the IDL subroutine should adapt to the standard use of 100% diffuse value, rather than require the user to adjust all the materials to (about 80% diffuse) to suit it.  A thought for P8 SR2 and Poser Pro 2010.
