I would like to test out a RAM module for a Creative AWE64 card, and would be interested in getting some soundfont recommendations please. I am using a RAM adapter, with 1 stick of 32MB in it, and so I have 28MB that I can use. I would be interested in loading up some big soundfonts, to test this large amount of available memory.
Thanks a lot.

Hey, which soundfonts did you test using with the 28mb space?

Just as a heads-up: Loading sound fonts that big can take one to two minutes. If you configure a big sound font as standard sound font, this will increase the boot time of Windows accordingly, with the computer in a seemingly frozen state. Thus, I usually don't configure sound fonts bigger than 4MB as standard, and only load big fonts when specifically required.
