Fingers are crossed on that last point there....

Eric is right -- if you want to offload the processing of modern
sample libraries (with all of the bells and whistles like authentic
slurring, sampled performance techniques, etc), the memory and
processing demands of this task are such that you're better off
getting an entirely separate computer to handle it. (Which is, of
course, what the pros do.)
However, for the average user, this is not necessary, provided they
have an up-to-date computer like the MacIntel. That's the beauty of OS
X's multi-threading and Intel's Core Duo -- it's entirely possible to
have one processor core handle the sample playback, while the other
handles everything else. Given enough memory, upon the release of
Fin2007, GPO playback should not be a problem on any of the new
MacIntels (except perhaps the low-end, single core Mac mini).
