Poser 7 and Vue 7 did well in quad, but I'm not sure about the 6-core i7-970 or 8-core dual-Xeon. Poser cloth simulation rarely uses more than 3 threads simultaneously.

For a 32-bit windows environment, 4Gb ram is the highest meaningful amount, and you might benefit from enabling the 3G-switch (read my tutorial in case of any questions).

64bit win7 rocks in all cases, but over 4Gb ram is useful only when having many hires figures in your scene. Or in vue, having Central Park filled up with a full tree ecosystem.

Enjoy.

Usually I'm wrong. But to be effective and efficient, I don't need to be correct or accurate.
