You don't need to get carried away.  I run Poser 8 on a three year old Core Duo laptop with 2 GB and I'm happy with the performance.  Prior to that I ran Poser 7 on a 1.6 GHz single core laptop, and it worked fine, although I wished it were a little faster.

Poser 8 is 32 bit, so more than 3 GB Ram doesn't do much for you.   Poser Pro will do 64 bit rendering. 

Get a big hard drive, though-a 1.5 TB can be had for less than $120.
