OK..... I'm quite a bit frustrated and yes...also pissed with trying to do animation with both Poser 7 and Vue 8  Esprit . I've been running a dual core laptop with 3 gigs of ram and I can't seem to get anything to run smoothly. Been thinking  for quite some time about going quad core with 64 bit and window's 7, (New PC), with 8 gigs of ram. My question is- (before shelling out the cash for such a system)- will it perform up to my expectations? Meaning will the system- A) not crash on me, and B) run animations smoothly in preview mode (at the very least).   If anybody has any experience with this type of system and applications- please respond in kind. Thanks for taking time to read this. BTW- I have read up and tried all the optimization tricks/ techniques to try to get the programs to rum better- with not a whole lot of luck.
