i'm looking for GPO user with a pulsar 1 (not pulsar 2!) to gather informations about their system (mobo and ram) and about the GPO performance (polyphony, GPO instances loaded.)
Thanks!

Ok, i'm a pulsar 2 user but i can tell you that GPO eats ram, i usually run one full sampler (8 patches i think) with GPO samples.
I've only got 1Gb Ram and cpu idles at 20% in Cubase, roughly.
I hope thats of some use, two pennys worth...

i already own GPO.
i'm about to buy a new PC... and i'd like to know GPO performances...
i will buy 2 GB of ram, corsair twinX 2048-3200 CAS2 latency...
with a asus p4c800-3 deluxe and a P4 3 GHz...
i wonder what will be the GPO performances on this machine...
now, on a p4 2.4 GHz, p4b533 with 1 GB ram (FSB 233) i can open 4 instances on sonar4, but as soon as the polyphony grows i have click/dropout!

I've gone as far as 4 full instances of GPO without any problems, probably can go more. But that's with Cubase SX 2. But recently I use GPO in much smaller proportions, like 2 instances just for strings.

I need to get back to my DAW to give you details about which MB I use, but I have 3.2ghz p4 with 1gb ram. I also have pulsar2+an XTC card. But I'd guess it doesn't matter what card you have.
