Streaming of samples is on only if you have Virtual Memory checked in the EXS24
preferences. If you have this checked you can have huge sample libraries
loaded. If it is off then you will be limited to some proportion of your
physical RAM - try to load a 2 GB piano sample set into your 1GB or RAM and you
will get crackling at best and a lot of disk activity when you try to load it
as most of it ends up in the system swap file.

See above - switch it on in EXS24 prefs - I have 1GB of RAM and I leave it on
all the time.
