@JWarndt: If you haven't added memory yet, send me a PM; I have a few 2GB DDR2 (PC2-6400) sticks with metal heat spreaders on my shelf.

Important info regarding 32/64 bitness and multi-core rendering: P7 was 32bit only. Poser Pro, which was derived from P7, used a 32bit setup studio (the Poser executable), but you could render in 64bit. It only divided up the render into 2, (3?), or 4 sections, so anything beyond four cores goes unused.

The pro version of P8 was Poser Pro 2010; both the setup studio (Poser itself) and Firefly can run as 64bit. Firefly will use all available processor cores by dividing the render up into multiple "buckets" (like tiles of a mosaic). Same with P9/Pro2012, P10/Pro2014, and P11/P11Pro.
