I found out a way to squeeze out a few extra Clock cycles for doing renders with Poser. Method 1) Launch Taskmanager with Poser already running; Right-Click Poser.exe and set the priority to high. Method 2) Create a batch file with the following: start /high Poser.exe %1 Place the batch in the same directory as Poser. Also in the Control Panel -> System -> Performance make sure to select the performance boost for the foreground application. Although these tricks will speed up performance they still do not beat a faster processor. I hope this helps. Sam
