the fashion in the last few years has been specifically to *not* put
PCM files in memory, but to stream them from disk (see
gigasampler). by putting them in memory, you limit the size of the
samples you can use quite noticeably. even a machine with 2GB of
physical RAM wouldn't be particularly useful with contemporary grand
piano samples.
