If you just want to run some PC programs, VirtualPC would be a cheaper solution, even if you add a nice big Firewire hard drive and more memory on your old system. I use the W98 version on my G3 400MHz with 768MB of memory for testing products and it runs both Poser 4 and ProPack. W98 actually runs better than it does on my PC laptop. The only Poser-related application that won't run on VirtualPC is Mimic - it installs off the CD, but then the anti-pirating system won't recognize the CD. If you want a Windows box, you might consider if Poser 5 (whenever it is released) will be optimized for a newer operating system than 98 - Elisa/gryffnn
