So the answer to the original post is: If you want the fastest render times in Poser, get an AMD. If you want to have 20 or 50 or 75 programs open at once and render more slowly in Poser then by all means by a P4. Don't buy just any P4 however, make sure that it is a Dell P4 that has the sticker "Intel Inside" Another thing to think about is that I also posted the P3 850 score of 81 seconds and that machine is not a Dell either. The problem may not be Poser....it may be your Dell.
