Hope someone can answer this...I have these 2 PC's, and one is faster than the other when working in Poser. WAAAY faster... Why is my Pentium II 350mhz (running Windows 2000) with only 192MB of RAM at least TWICE as fast as my AMD K6-2 500Mhz system (running Win98 SE) with 256MB of RAM? I don't get it... the AMD even has a faster system bus (200Mhz as opposed to the Pentium's 100Mhz). Is it the OS? That's the only thing I can think of. Both hard drives are 7200rpm and relatively clutter-free, and constantly defragged/optimized. This is bugging me to no end - especially since I paid for the AMD and got the 350 for free. Thanks for any clues to solving this mystery!
