I'm considering getting Poser 5, but my desktop machine is 500Mghz, the listed minimum. Has anyone run it at that speed? How stable is it, and does it 'feel slow'? What's more important, memory or processor? I've got 512mg RAM on that machine. I also have a 1.13ghz / 256mb RAM laptop, but it only has a 30gb HD and I already have over 40 GB's of 3D data files (admitedly about half of that is pre-vicky/mike clothes, poses, and figures...) Upgrading my processor would be expensive, as it's slot based Athlon. I'd need a new CPU, new motherboard, and likely new Ram chips (so I haven't yet done this, and won't until the economic situation shifts a bit for me... post dot-com is hard on a web-programmer). So that said, I'm essentially stuck with the machines I've got for more than likely the next year or two. Would Poser 5 run well enough on them, or should I just wait till I can up the machines. They've got a $10 discount sale going right now, a nice offer, but not enough to make it urgent... :)

Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
