The Emulator X just isn't going to sound the same as an Emax and I for one will never 
want to move to a software based sampler. To me it's just not a practical solution for 
playing live. They recommend a 2gHz pentium 4 with 1Gb of memory. I'm still using a P2 
400 LOL. The$299 price tag at musician's friend does make it look compelling. I also 
can't believe they are still charging $349 for the Turbo upgrade card for an ESi-32/4000.
