That's a good point. TAL-Noisemaker just added a moog filter setting. I gave it a listen last week, and it sounded good.

Did you try the 8x oversampled version yet? When I load it in Reaper there is no GUI. It does sound great though.

Yeah no GUI but yeah it is sweet! But for the lappy Minimogue is fine. It actually is my favorite right now, it is not like I need a whole lot of synths and it and Synth1 will be getting the most use probably.

These are the best free plugins I've been able to find, that actually run on my old, slow computer I'm using:

Crystal

Ensembler

Feldspar
-techno

Genesis
-uses the most CPU, but it sounds "phat"

Helix

Intro
-house/hip-hop

Oatmeal
-#1 on my list, and that's my skin for Oatmeal by the way

RPS-1
-drums/sequencer

SFZ+
-Soundfonts - piano, choir, etc.

SQ8L
-80's retro

Synth1
-more presets available then every other plugin combined - lol

Universal
-I just recently discovered this one - it will blow your mind!
http://code.google.com/p/macaw/downloads/list

Voyager
-not entirely "bug"-free

If you give these a try, they should keep you busy for quite a long time.
Enjoy!

Tyrell and zebralette would both bring an old laptop to its knees. The Elektro Studio stuff is pretty low IIRC. I would also throw in the suggestion for the recently free Model E.

Zebralette is very CPU-friendly but isn't what you asked for ("moogish"). Tyrell is a CPU-hog but very "analog". Model-e sounds bad, dunno about Elektro... My suggestions are:
Synth1, Zebralette (anyway!), Helix and Orca (can't remember CPU-hit of that one, though)

1/2 an instance of tyrell will leave your old laptop a smoking pile of molten waste!

Best free plugins for an underpowered Windows system?

Moog???

I really much know about free synths and I love it.. also cause they are very Modern luckily. and There is Tal.. But If you want old MOOG or Vintage,, You have to go to Arturia or Poly-Ana....

- Oh.. If your moog mean Juno too see post DCO-6 free synth!!!

well idk I run an old desktop with 768MB ram and most of tyrell N6 runs fine I run into a couple presets that are unusable though my bad for suggesting that if it really wouldn't work I never tried using a laptop for vst's

This thread deserves to be sticky and needs it counterparts in both effect and host sub forums IMO !

It's the same with me - I'm with Cubase SX 2. The 'normal' version has GUI though. 8 times oversampled sounds really good, it's a shame there's no GUI.

Thanks, I just grabbed Model Pro and it is nice, I think I'll get use out of that, single oscillator synths are easy to get sounds out of, I remember my old sh101, you had no patch memory so learning how to get 'your' sounds on the fly was a necessity. I remember when I got my Juno I was so amazed that I could save patches!

I know I already gave you an awesome list of free plugins earlier, but here's a couple others that are more aimed towards the sound of a Moog:

Abakos
-nice warm sound

Cyclick's FreeMoog

Model Pro
-cool interface

They may not have that exact signature Moog sound you're after, but you still might like them.
