Well my order is in (at long last).....
I've been making do with an old P4 1.8 GHz running 756 MB RAM for yonks (it's 5 years old now).

Put an order in for a Dual Core P4 3.4 GHz with 4GB of RAM, setup for dual monitors with two 256MB NVidia Graphics cards and 2 x 250GB STA HD's.  Oh and a 24" monitor that has a max res of 1920 by something......  The whole time the poor guy who took the order kept saying they only joke about anyone ordering this sort of setup at the store and all I could think of is "Poser is probably going to run out of RAM anyway!!!".  It's also funny how different communities approach computing too, the higher end systems are common among the graphics world.

Anyway, moral of the story..... none really but I'm wondering if Poser is ever going to get serious about optmising it's code and memory management??? (dream on I know......)

I think it's an ever evolving and rather depressing circle.  Hardware comes out that should run anything and then someone comes up with software that needs something better.  Both sides drive each other and sometimes I think it drives me crazy!

Oh and the old system still goes (even if you can make cups of coffee while it boots..... and dinner too!) lol
