Can it cure the heartbreak of psoriasis?

Jim Burton, Glad to see you mention Tom's Hardware Guide. I did most of my research on building my computer there. As far as the noisy cooling fans go, your are absolutely right. I have 4 of them in my rig and can hear them from 3 rooms away. If I was going to recommend an Intel CPU, I would have to go with a PIII 1.0 or 1.2 ghz model. The PIII appears to have a significant performance advantage over the Celerons unless things have changed very recently. I would stay away from the P4 due to their high cost which is not justified by their performance. Tom did a nice article on his site about "Best Bang For The Buck CPUs" which I thought was very enlightening.

So the answer to the original post is: If you want the fastest render times in Poser, get an AMD. If you want to have 20 or 50 or 75 programs open at once and render more slowly in Poser then by all means by a P4. Don't buy just any P4 however, make sure that it is a Dell P4 that has the sticker "Intel Inside" Another thing to think about is that I also posted the P3 850 score of 81 seconds and that machine is not a Dell either. The problem may not be Poser....it may be your Dell.

Soulhuntre, I had my rig put together and running within 4 hours so its doubtfull you're saving all that much time with Dell or e-machines setup. I would be interested in seeing a screen shot of your task manager displaying the 53 items that are running in the background. Based on your render time, it seems that you would have been perfectly happy with the performance of a properly configured PIII 450. But then again, you would lose the certain satisfaction that comes from spending $2,500.00 on a new computer. You also mentioned e-machines. Aren't those throw-away boxes in that they can't be upgraded? You recommend them? I noticed that Dell and e-machines are underscored and highlighted in your post. Are those direct links to their advertising pages? To be fair, you should post a link there to take them here to see the results of our tests. I just clicked on them....they ARE links! How much are they paying you?

Thanks Don, Thats the answer that I was looking for. The whip is an excellent analogy.

Maybe thats the key! I've been bending it til it breaks...then its too late.

Yeah, White Bird!

I love it. The attention to detail in this is excellent. I haven't seen another car model that is as authentic as this and I've seen most of them. Whether you are selling the whole thing or just the CR2 I will be buying it. $5.00 to $10.00 seems ridiculously cheap for the effort that you have put into this thing, but then again, at that price, you may sell 1000's of them. Great job Duddly!

This is really nice Rubio! And just remember, your english is a lot better than our japanese.

This morning I received my download info from DAZ and then received a second one in the afternoon. So I am happy again. Maybe it did have something to do with that conference that they were at.

We have to provide our own strangled corpse on the bed? LOL In all seriousness, this is an excellent contribution. Poserworld have been coming up with some really great environments lately. I remember this set from way back, but it looks as though you have given it a facelift. It looks great. Thanks Rena

Its looking good to me! I really like the hair as it lies on the shoulder.

From the back of the manual dated 1999-2000: Curious Labs, Inc. (831) 462-8901 Phone (805) 462-8925 Fax If that doesn't work call Santa Cruz, CA information and ask.

It looks like someone took a shotgun to the texture. Open up the texture in any picture viewer and see if there are holes in the texture. If so, you will have to repair them using Photoshop or something like it.

Poserworld also has a fine bar included in its Foyer prop.
