You know why that is, HipCheck? Because WinXP (and WinME) sucks, big time! I still use Win98, and I don't get hassles like insufficient memory and common crashes. And guess what? I run Poser 4 and 3D Studio Max R4 on a Pentium II, 500MHz, 64MB RAM (with 8 shared with the vid card), and it runs pretty well. It takes forever to render a scene with lots of elements, but it still does render.
