It sounds like the question was pretty well covered. I can only add that, when it comes to graphics, you're best off getting as much memory as possible, within reason. For example, I have an "old Celeron" motherboard. The maximum amount of memory I can handle is 512MB of RAM. I got mine pretty cheaply, and I've been very happy ever since. But yes, Poser does have a weird habit of giving you faulty error messages. Just imagine a little child who only knows how to say one or two things. Imagine that child having a little temper tantrum and saying "I don't have enough memory to do that." The other silly error message some of us get is "Not enough disk space to render at the current resolution." I believe that error message is pretty much confined to Windows 2000 and Windows XP.... You could get that if you had a whole 30GB hard drive FREE! In my experience the ultimate solution to that problem was to put Poser on a 30GB hard drive by itself. Ron
