Using a "host" would mean that you had the Akoustik Piano loaded into something like Sonar or Cantabile, which will let you play the VSTi version Sounds like you were not using VSTi, but what is usually called the Standalone program. Some virtual instruments (like Ivory) don't even have a standalone mode and must always play through hosts.

So I jumped to conclusions, including your processor speed. But if it doesn't hiccup too much now, maybe the extra RAM will still let it play more smoothly. As you say, it's already useful the way it is, so any improvement will be just gravy on the rice.
