I'm planning on getting a new machine. I'm getting an AMD CPU. The question I have is should I get an FX-57 or Dual Core 4800+. I also plan on getting nVidia 7800 GTX video cards.

Almost all the benchmarks show that for pure video gaming that the FX-57/nVidia combo is the best. (The GPU does most of the work) However, for multi-tasking and CPU intensive chores the Dual Core/nVidia combo is better.

The underlying question is, will POSER primarily use the CPU to render, or will it use the GPUs on the videocards to do the rendering?
