Ok, let me get this right. You actually are upset that Daz will not cater to your OLD computer and to make this concession because you can't afford to buy a new computer??. You must be joking ;). I hope you don't mind if I say so, but that is beyond ridiculous. They're a business. They can't do that. And I completely understand that and I can't afford the newest version of either DS OR Poser.

Yep.

I still keep around (and use) a copy of D|S 3. If you scrounge enough online (for the free version, folks!), it is still out there for download. I'm almost willing to wager that you can get and keep a version 2.x out there as well. So far, aside from Genesis, it still works just fine for my uses.

Incidentally, even if you have an old machine, try getting more RAM for it - as much as the motherboard will stand. The stuff is (depending on type) cheap, plentiful, and easily-got. I paid a whopping $25 for 8GB (2x4GB) of DDR3 PC 10600 laptop RAM (from newegg.com), and so far it's run like a dream. Boosted the render times by around 15-20%, which is not a miracle, but definitely a visible improvement.

Page 11 so far, and I like how the thread has improved...
