    With the SE and Plus, and add to that the extended versions, how many Gigs is that. 111?

    the average lifetime for the SE bundle is far more than 111 gigs ... just joking ;-)

    recommended free space on your harddrive: ~ 110 GB, used space on your harddrive after installation: ~75 GB (the difference left free is strongly recommended to avoid storing data in slower regions of your disk)

    loading each and every patch from your SE bundle would require  ~ 6 GB free memory (only a preload buffer for the samples gets loaded, the remaining data is streamed from your disk as you play them) - i doubt you would ever do so ...

    add 1 GB memory for system and applications, add 1 GB memory headroom to be left free (to avoid too much memory fragmentation)

    and remember: only a CRAY can run an endless loop in just three seconds.

    If you want to load all the articulation, without any fragmentation, and separately you need :

    5 gb for the winds

    5 gb for the brass

    3 for the strings ( I have se strings ans Appassionata)

    1.5 for percu and the other instruments

    Loading them all in one Ve pro server is around 11 GB

    Best
