I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 on an Intel Dual Core T8100 at 2.10GHz, according to the System Monitor thingy. I have 2 Gigabytes of memory, though, which tends to be a good thing. I guess 4 would have been better, but I didn't want to spend more than 2 grand on a stupid laptop. That was back in 2008; no idea what prices are like now.

As I said, it might still be a good idea to hold out until SR3 and see if that fixes some of the windowing bugs. The problems I had with Poser 8 were annoying, but usually there was some way of working around them. I don't have Poser 7, so I can't say if things were even worse with that. Also, it's probably save to assume that the more recent your Wine, the better.

Incidentally, I'm pretty sure 9.04 is not an LTS. I started with 8.04, which is one, and missed out on all the upgrades up until recently because my system updater was set to ignore new releases that weren't LTS. The new 10.04 is an LTS again.
