Keep us updated, Operaguy. I'm interested in this too. I have never been pleased with rendering directly in Poser, and I can't afford more expensive apps, although I have used some of them before. I purchased Carrara with animation in mind.Just remember, if you decide to use Transposer, you can perfect the animation itself in Poser, and do all the scrubbing and motion proofing you want in there, then just add cameras, new materails, and lights in Carrara to render. You wouldn't need to scrub the timeline much anyway if you go with that workflow.
A note about your specs: Your video card is a little weak on RAM. I'd see about getting 512mb minimum if possible. Also, if you're looking for realtime feedback in the viewport on high poly scenes, you might be out of luck with Carrara, unless it supports the drivers for something really highend, like the 3dlabs Wildcat or Oxygen series ($1000+). Those cards are geared toward maximum polygon redraw rates, specifically for 3d applications. There's also the mid-range card, 3dlabs Realizm, which is blazingly fast with Maya. Maybe Carrara can support these cards, I don't know.
