Thanks for the speedy replies. Yes I just built myself a dual CPU computer under $1000. I salvaged some parts (floppy, sound, modem, mouse and keyboard) from my old Pentium III 700MHZ system. I used the Tyan S2460 dual Athlon MP motherboard (awesome motherboard, though it can only go as high as the Athlon MP 1900 CPU at 1.6GHZ). I bought it at pricewatch.com for $166. Also I threw in an ATI Radeon 8500 128MB Video Card. Hopefully I'll upgrade to ATI FireGl 8800 in future ;-) I saw it for $456 some where at pricewatch website. My Poser4 was installed in the old system, but I thought it could benefit from the dual cpu setup. However, I also use Animation master and several other packages that would benefit from the setup. I wish and hope Curious Labs would add multiprocessor support to Poser in future :-)

Thanks very much for all your input:-)
