Thanks for your advice,

Someone posted on one of the forums that (the mythical) Poser 10 worked great with 64 bit systems. I have not yet found that I need to upgrade from Poser 7 unless it doesn't work with 64 bit. I can only use up to 3.5GB RAM with my current 32 bit Vista system and it renders painfully slow. Maybe Vista is the problem.

I am kind of stuck with a laptop because I need to travel with it, but I could have a laptop and a desktop I suppose. What have you found to be a great configuration with regard to RAM memory and video cards for improving rendering speed. Is there a need for more than 8GB RAM? I have seen systems with 2 video cards, is there an advantage to this in Poser or just with gaming?
