Longest Poser render I ever did was about 20 minutes, the PZ3 file was 460 Mb, though. I've had many Bryce renders go all night though, some still weren't done then. There is something wrong with Bryce's rendering, it shouldn't take that long, incidently. Pentium 2s don't go that fast, I'm sure you ment a P4, the downside of the P4 is it isn't as fast clock against clock as a AMD or a P3, and the stinking Rambus memory is expensive. I wouldn't buy a system with less than 512 Mb these days, I have 768 in my AMD 1.4 Mhz, it cost something like $130 (the memory, that is!) I have Poser anti-aliasing on as default with this box, as most renders only take 10- 20 seconds or so. Speed kills, but not in computers! ;-)
