I also think Windows 2000 best, Mac O.S. 9 the worst I've used (the flak from the Mac guys starts now- but gee, I like Macs!). Only ever used those and 95 and 98 though, but from the problems I see people asking about, Win 2000 is the way to go.

I have just migrated to Windows 2000 about a month ago. It hasn't given me any problems so far.

Jim, I hope you aren't using 9.0. 9.2 is darn good. 9.0, like 8.0, hadn't been shaken out yet. 8.6 was pretty good though...used that for awhile. In face some places where I freelance I use 8.1 because that's the OS Avid Media Composer up to 7.2 is approved for, and it is solid.

Hey there :) WindowsXP is a great platform for Poser and just about everything else I run on it. I find it faster than 2000 and much more stable than 98 (obviously). 2000 is a good system, but XP is simply better and thanks to the long testing period it is rock solid.

That might be part of the problem, 9.0.4. I'm scheduled for a new Mac G4 when they upgrade the lab this summer. It seems like 9.0 has major problems allocating memory for big programs, I tried Curious Labs suggetions about setting the memory usage (yep guys, that message you see is really intended for Mac users, where you can chage the memory the program uses!) to 150,000 minimum, 300,00 preferred, I'm not sure it is a good thing to put the prefferred setting into Virtual memory, though, as I only have 256 Mb on this Mac. I was going to upgrade the Mac labs to 9.2 (?, the highest you can upgrade the 9.0 to for free), but Gee, you have to run three upgrades after installing the O.S!
