Hi,
I wonder if anyone can advise me on the best path to go down. I have a pIII 1ghz cup with 64mb graphics card,1gig of sdram 133hz, using WinXP Pro.
My question is...what would I need to upgrade to get in order to get the fastet resonse. ie upgrade to 3ghz P4 - or upgrade the graohics card to an ATI (128mb) or something along that line.
I also use Brye 5 & Vue4 so would like to new the best option for all 3 products. Its mainly to moveing around before rendering -but also so render times. I am also in to animating.
Could anyone please point me in the right direction
Many thanks,
Bushy

The graphics card will have very little impact on your render speeds. Poser doesn't use hardware acceleration at all, even for the display; I can't speak for Bryce and Vue.
Sink most of your upgrade money into a new motherboard, a faster CPU, and as much memory as you can afford.
As you're into animation, I might recommend the Mover 5 add-on for Vue d'Esprit, which allows you to import and render animated Poser scenes. Mover also gives you networked rendering capability, if you have multiple PCs. And it comes bundled with additional Poser content (DAZ's bear, camel, the Millennium Kids, the Charger, etc.).

Upgrading the video card will not speed up bryce renders. Bryce renders rely on the cpu speed. Pedrith
