Thanks to everyone who responded to my request for suggestions for a new PC. The final decision was a Dell P$ 1.3 G. The unamimous choice for video seemed to be the Nvidia G2 so that's what I got. Due to the expense of RIMM memory I could only afford 128M but its working okay so far. The suggestion of the 7200rpm disk vs 5400 has worked out and I'm happy! I did chicken out when it came to using an AMD processor. OH well. Overall I'm experiencing about a 10 times increase in performance over my 166 MMX. (Probably much faster when it comes to renders, but I didn't actually measure). On top of that Poser 4 actually seems stable on this machine. One of the neatest things was dealing with Dell. They did have a VERY competetive Price and it was possible to negotiate with them from their published prices. Delivery from dell was also amazing, 96 hours from placing the order to delivery in backwoods Ontario. Once again thank you to those who put there experiences down on the keyboard.
