Smile EZdrummer vs Superior Drummer 2.0 - system resources

Hey gang.

I have EZdrummer.

Just curious if there's a substantial difference in horsepower required to run SD2.0 smoothly like EZdrummer?

Or, asked another way:

I like the fact EZdrummer seems pretty CPU friendly. How does SD2.0 stack up?

Thanks ya'll.

I never noticed any difference other than loading time, depending on how large the kit is. Sometimes I fire the VI from a Roland kit and use real cymbals and hat, so I have created presets with no cymbals at all which makes the load time very fast.

There's no significant power difference from EZ to Superior.

Running Superior is like running EZ.

Only difference is HD space - you'll need 60GB if you want to install the full Superioir DVD's.

If you turn on additional bleed channels and load more velocities in Superior it'll start to use more RAM... the default settings are comparable to EZDrummer (if you enable 16 bit mode).
