I have heard that Athlons are faster than Pentiums when using bryce, but you might want to ask Corel what's the best processor for Bryce to be sure. Also for the bryce render you don't need a fast videocard, because bryce only uses the processor for that. As for RAM more is always better. I don't know about poser and videocards, but I think a videocard with good 2D-performance is great for photoshop. But than again a good videocard like a geforce 3 or 4 is always very good, for games, your openGL-views and other 3Dsoftware.
