I went searching the web looking for what it takes to make a 32 bit program into a 64 bit program.

the simplest answer i found was this:

"This really depends on the application and how it has been coded. Some code can just be recompiled with a 64-bit compiler and it will just work, but usually this only happens if the code has been designed with portability in mind."

Anybody who has been in these forums for more than a month probably knows that Poser is (or was) based on some pretty old code. Not likely to have been written with portability in mind.

Anybody who has been paying attention to this thread probably knows that Poser 8 contains a large portion of updated/rewritten code (a rewrite that was started in Poser 6, believe it or not) but it is not yet complete.

Poser 8 may be 64 bit, or it may not. We don't know yet. But we do know that no amount of whining, crying or threats of with holding will make it go any faster.
