Sandoppe, why don't you go ahead and still buy the HTT enabled system? I've got HTT turned off but it's still a lot faster than my old Athlon. In fact 3.06Ghz and up Intel processors will support the technology which in fact only keeps the response of the system better. Consider it as an onboard Raid-controller for people who don't use Raid. The other features like a fast memory bus and a faster cpu speed will make up for it! Because the FSB is faster, the CPU multiplier is lower which means that you can speed up the FSB more without too much overclock on the processor. I think a larger memory bandwidth is also better for programs like Poser. I have a P4 3.06 @ 3.6Ghz and my FSB runs at 240Mhz, because it's quad-pumped, it runs at 960Mhz instead of 800Mhz. In the sisoft sandra bench... everything is blown away by my current rig! I ran Correct Reference but it didn't find anything to fix :( no speed gain there...

I've turned HTT off... it really makes a difference. However in normal day life it's better to leave HTT because the system keeps responding to your actions while 1 thread is utilizing the CPU to the max, however when you're going to run poser, it's best to turn it off. Tonight I will try CorrectReference and time some actions again to see how much it improved... What does 'parasite' mean anyway?? It seems to make a difference aswell!

No I don't mind at all! In fact I'll try downloading it myself. Tomorrow I will reinstall my old AMD 2400+ machine and try to render the same scene with the same settings and time it. If the AMD is faster then it is only utilizing 50% of the CPU. Installing SR3, did however, fix tons of bugs and load times but not the rendering times, at least not noticable. So I hope using CorrectReference does the trick... If HT doesn't on/off doesn't...

Thanks for all the fast replies so far! Now I still have to figure out I I can disable HTT when using Poser but enabling it again when using Visual Studio. Enyone has experience with that?

Thanks... that did the job, some weird stuff happened earlier, like the 'conform to' was disabled from the menu but after some experiments this works but how can I make clothing for another figure fit? The dress I'm trying is meant for a character called 'Victory', The shoes and the gloves are made for the Poser 5, Judy character. Does anyone know a good tutorial for this? Hints/tips are also welcome.
