"Also, what OS are you running? I've noticed that people are having problems rendering with the win9x variants. Just as an example, someone running windows 98 would have poser choke, while someone with a weaker system would have no problems rendering with XP." Actually, I doubt it has too much to do with the OS whether Poser renders well or not. I run Win 98SE on a Celeron chip and an older GeForce2 videoboard, and have had zero problems with either slowdown or render problems in Poser 5 with the Mil Dragon. :-p Lammoth
