I asked Kupa about DirectX support, and he said "I can't comment on that" So I doubt OpenGL will make it under the wire, at least untill the next release, if there is a next release. Given the speed of the patch's release I wouldn't be surprised if they started work on it as soon as P5 was mastered to CD, I guess the proof in the pudding will be the arrival date of any subsequent patch. Though I seem to recal somebody opining that CL would have to hire back the programmers to code the patch. So it's an open question as to how many coders they actually have at present. I've got a 2Ghz P4 with 768Mb of memory and a 64Mb Nvidia GeForce4 440MX, running XP pro, P5 runs like a dog, my main complaint is that "fast tracking" is no faster than "full tracking" which renders the dials useless with two fully textured characters with hair. I've not used Judy or Don to be honest, Just as I never really used the Poser4 defaults once I got Mike & Vick, but we were assured they would all work. Which they do, but you have to click on the dial and enter a number to move anything, as "click & drag" simply doesn't work. I've got SP1b, but I've also got a new 20Gb USB drive (cost the same as the upgrade) and if my OS is going to become unstable after I've installed it, (as at least one other person has reported) then I'll wait. I can't imagine that given the load tech support are under at present, adding my problem to thier load is going to do anything but frustrate me, as I wait for a reply... later jb
