You mean Kontakt is, because GPO is just a set of samples :-)
No, I meant what I said: GPO is RAM-based. GPO includes a *customized* version of the Kontakt Player which has been optimized for use with GPO (and in fact works exclusively with GPO). In its first iteration, the GPO Kontakt Player was RAM-based only, because the GPO samples were (and still are) designed to be stored in RAM.
I can't comment on the full version of Kontakt because I don't own it.
I haven't tried DFD because Garritan *strongly* recommends against it, and the user reports have been almost universally awful. DFD mode theoretically works better if you have lots of processing power but limited RAM. I suppose if you had a dual 2.5 GHz G5 with just 512 MB of RAM, it might work out, but realistically, who on earth shells out for a top-of-the-line machine and *doesn't* upgrade the RAM?
