I'm a Poser newbie who is lso thinking about building his own system. I think my new GeForce 6800 card will overheat my Dell Dimension 4550, so I'd rather build a new system. What would be a good computer system for Poser artists? SCSI drives, 2G RAm, what? :)

Good processor, as much RAM as you can sink into, and a large, fast hard drive (or two). Hyper-Threading, Dual-Core, and a 64-bit system might sound impressive, but Poser can't take advantage of any of those features.

I agree with modus0 on hard drives. If you can, put P6 on it's own hard drive. It's happier.

I must remember to remember what it was I had to remember.

While Poser doesn't take advantage of 64bit processors or dual core etc. The newer AMD processors do still seem to have an advantage over equivalent or faster Intel chips because of large on chip caches and integrated memory management circuitry. These tend to make them noticably faster in memory bound benchmarks (and a lot of 3D rendering involves loading and manipulating massive texture maps). But don't bother going for the top of the range CPU's. The small increase in computing power is not worth the considerable price hikes. Extra (fast) RAM and multiple fast hard discs will make more of an impact for Poser.

This all makes sense. Are there advantages to SCSI drives for Poser?
