Hi, firstly thank you all for the feedback regarding my query, much appreciated. Yes, I was talking about regular RAM and I have already installed Mojave, I even ran a terminal script to ensure only the Apps upgrade and not the O/S but I think the issue goes deeper. Yes, I could just about scrape up the cost of upgrading Poser but what about software like Photoshop? At the moment I am lucky enough to have a copy of Elements 6 for both Windows and MAC.But they're both 32 bit. If I wanted use Photoshop now I'd have to subscribe for around £19 (I'm in the UK) a month. That's a lot for someone who may or may not want to use it on a regular basis. Why should I be made to feel that I have to use something to justify the cost? Also I am using a 32 bit version of Microsoft Office on my MAC. It's paid for and does everything I need. Again, another 'rental' piece of software to get to work on an upgraded MAC. Whilst I completely understand the need to improve and update software, I feel that sometimes the home user is being forgotten in the race to make as much money as possible.

Anyway, enough moaning, at least I'm back up and running again (Windows 10 PC with 16GB RAM, 2070 Super and a 500GB M.2 drive. Happy days!
