My system is 1.8 AMD CPU with 512 RAM and its like watching grass grow. My interest in Poser is in animation not stills. OK, time to take the big plunge while my credit card still has some spending power left to it. I just called my computer guy and as of tomorrow night I'll have my system upgraded to a 2.4 P4 with 1.5 Gig of DDRAM. Surely this much horsepower will make Poser5 dance the way I want it to. If not then I'll shell out an add'l $500 bucks for a 100meg 10k rpm scuzzy hard drive and an add'l 500 meg of RAM. If that don't make Poser dance then nothing will.
