My tutorial on using Poser software may be of help:

My notes:

in case of forking out for rendering purposes, the best to do is to use Queue Rendering. You may be able to run on other machines as well, without licence issues.

in case of forking out for cloth sim purposes, you can run another Poser in parallel to PPro2012, they don't differ that much in cloth room. Remind that P8 is 32 bit and can't handle more than 2Gb/3Gb memory anyway.

Usually I'm wrong. But to be effective and efficient, I don't need to be correct or accurate.
