Being new to Mac, I have a few basic questions for working with Poser 7 and Poser content from Renderosity with it. I have an iMac with Leopard OS(including all updates) and 2GB of RAM. Any advice, help is appreciated.

I would like to get some feedback from NEW (alu Augest 2007) iMac owners/upgraders on how well Poser 7 (for Mac) runs on it under Leopard OS?

Also, I am worried that content I have for Windows that I have spent lots of money on from Renderosity may not work under the Mac. Many vendors say "not tested on Mac" and I don't know if they mean you can have issues or if it will work OK and just not tested. In general, what have you found?

What is the best method for doing a download from Renderosity and opening/converting to current Mac OS format? Any good or simple conversion tool I could use that's freeware or shareware?

Do things such as Wardrobe Wizard 2.0 and most Poser tools work OK under the Mac OS Leopard?

I know I can use Boot Camp and just work under Windows XP on the iMac with out any troubles, but I really would like to avoid that and just stay under the Leopard OS. Is it best to use Boot Camp and stay all Windows or is running under Mac not a hard or troublesum as I am making it sound?

Thanks.

Jeff
