	I just bought Native Instrument's Kontakt almost exclusively 
to be able to run Giga libraries on my Mac within Digital Performer. 
Little did I know (well, actually, I did once I researched the 
various programs) that it would also let me run so many other 
formats... Akai, EXS24, HALion, Battery, SoundFont2, LM4, AIFF, and 
WAV files.  Not to mention Emu in the near future... I've got a 
pretty big Emu library, and the thought of running it all off of one 
of my hard drives is quite promising.  My two Emu samplers are maxxed 
out at 128 and 64 MB of RAM, which regularly requires compromises 
within large ensemble sequences.  Also makes archiving projects a lot 
more tedious.

	Bottom line for me... the only reason that I've EVER 
considered buying a peecee (running Giga libraries) appears to have 
happily disappeared from my horizon.

p.s.  I guess the only downside is figuring out where to put a few 
200+ GB hard drives to hold all these great libraries that are 
emerging!
