I just purchesed a refurbished Celeron quad J1900 processor with 4 gb of memory. It was an Asus system for $150. It replaced an old emachines athlon 2800.

It was the best I could afford and I could not justify the cost of a Poser upgrade from Poser 7.

Best is very relative.

In about a month I may be getting some money and am looking for a much better system so i am watching this thread for ideas.

With the 32 bit Poser I am not using 4 gb of memory but it does go to 100% processor on all 4 cores. It takes minutes in Daz studio and Poser rather than 20 + minutes.

I would still like to keep under $1000 but that may be more flexible.
