Congradulations Frank, I think you are playing the most powerful keyboard instrument known to man. 8 large Kontakt instruments plus Bandstand and your system isn't even breathing hard. My studio computer is similar to yours so I expect similar results running Bandstand and Colossus.

My laptop is a 2 Ghz/2GB RAM with a 5400RPM HD. I'm wondering if BANDSTAND could be installed to flash memory for better speed? Should be possible.
