Quote - Laurie - don't feel too bad.  My current Poser box, an ancient single core 32 bit Athlon, has 1.5 GB.  The OS is so old it's in Latin.

You can understand why I want to upgrade. 

I completely understand...lol. Having a nice, fast box is awesome ;). I just upgraded from a dual core to a quad core a few months back (and from 3 gigs of ram to 6 gigs) and the increase was very noticeable ;). You'll feel like ur in the cockpit of the Concorde...lol. Especially if you go for the 16 gigs of ram and a quad core. If you can afford it you might even step up to a 6 core. They aren't as expensive as I thought they might be.
