thanks for all your remarks

i knonw that benchmark is not a reference, but it's the one ! And somewhere, it provides any idead of gain by CPU to another; at least a minimal expected performance if nobody did tweak his hardware before the test !
You know i own a pentium D960, i will purchase a core i7 (maybe i7 940 or 950). So by reading thi all your score, i guess i will gain x4.5 speed at leastn wheras in cinebench i will gain only x3, and in Blender x5 (http://www.eofw.org/bench/)

In my drawer, i have a compactflash-to-SATA adaptator and a 266x compact flash card. I forecast to build a speed SSD with this (for only 100€) to use for a system cache partition (where poser will be)
thanks again for all !
