I have sample storage set to "original" per your first post.

I systematically went through and reduced polyphony on each track.  
This helped with something that sounded a bit like track stealing but 
hadn't caused the computer to completely grind to a halt.  I'm still 
out of RAM.   I have a question here though.  Is it standard for an 
instrument that has multiple layers for....say keyswitching, to use 
polyphony for all layers even though only one layer is playing?  I 
understand that if you were using xfade to smooth transitions between 
layers that more polyphony would be used.  But this isn't the case.  I 
play one note and the polyphony use is 4.  Is there something I'm 
missing?

I just didn't want to buy a new G4 only to find out that the G5s were 
coming out next week.

Yeah....The park bench idea sounds pretty dreamy.

Thanks again,
