I'm scoping out my next PC and need some help in making a choice that will maximize the performance of POSER and the playing of AVI files. My first question is about Processors. I assume that an 866 MHZ chip will be about 5 X quicker than my 166. RiGHt??? Is a Celeron chip as good as a regular P3 for POSER performance. I have the option of buying a dual processor motherboard. How would POSer use this and what would the performance gain be. Video boards?? What is AGP What is Nvidia?? What features on a video board affect Poser and the playing of Multi media files. What are the mechanics (math) that tells me how much memory a video board should have. RW-CDROM Can a RW CD play fast enough to play a 650 X 650 pixel AVI file without flickering IE what speed is required. Obviously ram is a major consideration.Is 256 reasonable? Would it render a 999 frame poser file quickly (ie before the next millenium) Thanks in advance to anyone who is able to shed some light on this Black Art.
