two video cards show up in your render settings and can be used at the same time.Cuts render times in half. You are rendering two giant tiles at a time with this config. You also have the option to run a render on 1 card and use the other just to run your monitor. In this config I can surf the internet and watch youtoob videos all day long while my machine also renders something in Poser.

That sounds like me now. I do notice a speed boost but my system still chokes at higher settings. Hair is still the meaning of eternity. I worry about stealing cycles from the render. Have you noticed any difference in the array of colors over, say, the integrated chip or a cheaper video card? Plus your video cards aren't matched.

Hmmm, you say Poser is set up to take advantage of crossfire? I do have a spare PCI slot. (SLI for you uninnoculated),

Poser doesn't do crossfire nor does it need it. My cards are not crossfired. I have to manage how much texture ram I use or I get a crash. I can squeeze in two figures, clothing and an image for the dome and that runs me up to the edge (about 4.5 gig). Yes hair takes a long time to render but your issue with some stuff taking a long time to render could also be bloated shaders. As an example the shaders that come with Outoftouch's hair models looks nice usually when rendered in SF but slow down the entire render including sections of the image that are not hair.
