Hi,

First you forgot to say that if you use EXS with libraries like VSL, you can
play huge score. The streaming with the EXS IS VERY VERY GOOD.

I have a friend of mine that played the "From the new world Symphony" from
Anton Dvorak on his G5 2x2 2GB, only 350 MB of memory was used and Logic was
using less that a third of his CPU power.

Also the configuration proposed does not include 2 GB, and with the 2GB it
is adding a 1/3 to the price.

A standalone Kompakt can play EXS !

May be the solution is to have Logic and multiple Kontakt/Kompakt on a dual
G5.(a new version of Kontakt just came out)


Thanks in advance.

Best regards
