Quote - RobynsVeil, what is your budget for the graphics card? There are benefits of going 64bit even with less than 4GB physical RAM. What most people don't realize is that the 32bit/64bit difference applies to the virtual address space available to programs, not physical memory in the machine. There are 32bit server versions of Windows that can use >4GB physical RAM, while a 64bit application running on a machine with 1GB RAM can allocate 32GB of memory.

Due to sales in our Perfect Holiday thingie on here, I'm able to afford a bit more than I was able to before. My question is this: is there much point to going with a high-end card when Poser itself doesn't really take advantage of a lot of the features of, say, a Quadro card?  Or would you still get the CAD-ready workstation card, just because?
