A single line string part takes up much more than one voice of polyphony. 
With legato/long release sounds like stereo strings, you can easily use 8-16 
voices on one melody part with no harmony. That's because the voices decay on 
release sounds and there's a lot of overlapping. 

We are definitely getting closer, and on the top end Windows rigs...it's much 
more feasable....but the question was about the Mac, and we need a lot more 
horsepower than what is available now.
