Factors in order of importance:
64-bit machine. Unless you do only single figures, you need this.
Multiple-core processer. I'm really impressed with the i7 series, especially the 970 on. If you can hold out until the introduction of the i7 990 in 1Q 2011 I'm sure that the price of the 970 and 980 will go down. (The 970 onward have six processors each.)
Lots of memory. I maxed out my system (which was probably overkill), but I would recommend at least 8 GB, preferably 12 GB. So far I haven't seen Poser use more than about nine, but as I build bigger and bigger scenes I suppose that I will.
Dual disks. I recommend not fooling around with RAID and just scheduling weekly backups from one disk to the other.
