Primorge, I know where you're coming from.  I recently bought a new Windows 7, 64 bit, 32 GB ram computer.  Poser 2012 now renders with incredible speed and I no longer have "out of memory" problems.  But there was also a downside: Although I could get older programs to install, a couple of my expensive programs like Maya would no longer work because it would not recognize my hardware dongles.  So I had to keep my old computer just to run them.  I think when it finally konks out, I'm going back to the simple days of a pencil and a paint brush.  Technology is just moving too fast, and my brain and my wallet can no longer keep up.
