Don't get disappointed yet. I've been told that there is C64 emulator (including emulation of SID and graphics) that works on 386 processor.
That been said... If we remove from such programm heavy parts for drawing graphics and emulating SID and just stream commands for SID into replica - we must not get heavier on CPU. I think it must be less CPU-hungry because we do not need to draw anything and simulate SID (we have real hardware for it!). So it is THEORETICALLY possible to play *.SID with the replica on 386 CPU.
But we have to find some open source for such emulator that we can reuse. We didn't find such efficient solution yet.

I think it is HVSC. I've already downloaded it.
