I have a system just for graphics so no Microsoft Office and the like.  It does have Vue 8, Carrera 8 Pro, Poser 2010 Pro, Paint Shop Pro X12, Bryce (I think 5.5 but I haven't used it in ages) and recently added Silo.   I have Kindle for the PC so I can read a manual or tutorial on one monitor while working in the main program on a second.

For back up I use the hard drive management suite from from Paragon and Opditracker for DVD storage.

I have had one crash in the 14 months since I built it and that did not appear to be program specific.  Poser 2010 has never stopped or crashed and I use it most days.

I guess after this I will have tempted fate and it will but on past history I will not be able to blame the programs.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
