Hi all…

I have a few questions to ask about upgrading/replacing my current aged (2005) Dell Dimension XPS Gen4 system topped with 4 gigs Ram and just about getting by with Windows XP and Explorer 8 (I’ve seen a few problems about this already in discussion here) and my beloved Poser 6 - yes… I did say Poser 6...

At about the end 2014 maybe beginning of 2015 I will be trading my current pc system in for something fast and new, aimed predominantly for use with Poser software. I will have a budget of around £1500 ($2500) or thereabouts, and simply want to purchase the best new system possible for Poser at/around that price. Knowing me I’ll probably put the price up as you guys get me interested in newer set ups.

I also would like to know what would be the best Poser software package to purchase, to run with my new mega system: some are saying PP2014, but I’d like some better opinions, and where else to ask but here. I want to get into animations more, as these have always frightened the life out of me, even though I’ve wanted to try them out more often.

I suppose my 32 bit would instantly go up to a 64 bit system, and lots of RAM I can imagine. I have also been looking at those water cooled set ups for the main chip, as I know my Dell slows downs by about 50% in hot weather, as the chip overheats.

Also I recall some years ago, here on these forums, a guy who had a multiple monitor set up, so he could work on several projects at once: knowing how slow renders and animations can take on even the best of the best systems. Would two or more pc systems work best here, though this would be pretty expensive to set up.

Any help would be much appreciated…
