It's entirely possible to load an entire GPO orchestra into 1 GB of RAM -- I've done orchestras with winds in twos, and even winds in threes so long as I only load one patch per staff. Using the non- keyswitched strings also helps (the original "load an entire orchestra with 1 GB RAM" is bas

Actually, the Garritan samples are much smaller than the instruments in most sampled libraries. They compensate for the small sample size by using sophisticated programming. The library was designed from the ground up to be loaded into RAM. Cheers, - Darcy - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brooklyn,

" - To play an entire orchestra, we recommend 1 GB of RAM." This is a direct copy-and-paste quote from the Garritan web site. Don't you just love it when a manufacturer gives specs on their web-site which just don't work out in real life. Or maybe they know something we don't? David H. Baile
