That's interesting, Victoria. My 32bit system isn't TOO different (but yes, different) from yours. Yet if I can get 2 Poser figures into a scene (otherwise empty) my resources drop to the 25-35% range.

The 32bit machine: Dual processor AMD MP2800 with 3.5 GB ram, NVidia Quadro FX1000 128MB. I've wondered in the past if Vue has never liked the Quadro cards, but haven't seen anyone else complain about them?
