DCAM is not THAT heavy, if you avoid Amber...
It's all about the wavelets. I dream of the perfect additive synthesis.
You can hire me if you are in Toronto! Contact for details.

You seem to have the whole Tone2 arsenal. How about selling one of those (they sound similar, anyway)? Then you can buy whatever you want...
But since your computer is old, I doubt you will have much fun with most of those great synths suggested here...

One might also ask what kinds of sounds or features you are missing on your existing synths. That could narrow down your choice.

A couple of options:

Cakewalk Z3ta+2 $99
Big Tick Rhino $99

I don't know how people rate these two these days.

Depending on what you want to do with the synth you should do the following

leads and some pads Z3ta+2 lots of presets as well a must have synth

lead pads organs and with certain preset packs that Nori did you should snag SYNTHMASTER. The presets for it are less expensive as well. Look around and if your in school it's like someone said a lot cheaper plus the discount is usually in an ad on KVR somewhere,

"sounds of the world" about 50 really cool ethnic patches. The tron patches in art rock basics and the organs in that patch bank are must haves and the patch banks for Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes, ELP and UK are also must haves.

I don't know what you have a taste for because you did not mention your influences and what kind of music you like to perform but I can guarantee you that if you can pull off any of those tunes by those acts you will be in great demand for playing with other musicians.

Nothing like playing a song by the prog rock greats to impress the other musicians in the crowd and allow you to steal their girlfriends.

The midi files on those acts have been out on the net for years so there is no excuse for not learning a few, unless you just can't read music worth a damn.

Ace multicore support is only of use if you have a multicore processor... Obviously.
But if you do, I would say is a great option.

Synthmaster sounds nothing short of amazing, and the price belies its quality.
But some patches, especially anything involving unison and reverb can bring even a new computer to its knees.
You can use lower quality settings though, but render in high.
No multicore support for synthmaster.

But I will echo the opinion that if you beg, borrow or sell to get another $50,,, get Zebra.
My jaw still drops at some of the sounds I can make, and is very cpu efficient.

Maybe try the marketplace forum, nearly every synth comes up sooner or later, and Zebra is available from U-He for $150,,, if you're clever.
