Garritan Jazz & Big Band 3 ?

I'm looking for a way to get a horn section into my next project.
It's a little pop/soul -style.

I'm tempted to buy the Garritan Jazz & Big Band 3:
http://www.garritan.com/index.php?op...=144&Itemid=56

But, I have 2 concerns:
#1 Is it to heavy for my Pent4 3Ghz, 1Gb Ram Pc?
#2 The jazz/big-band demos sounds wonderful. But do you think it will work well for this pop/soul style I'm looking for?

and #3 Would it be better for my buying the Garritan Personal Orchestra (Giving me more for the money)?

Budget: Originally $100, but maybe I'll stretch it for something that's really usable.

Thanks!

Wrong subforum to post in? Or wrong forum for the topic?

Ok, thanks for your advice! But, I find the demos on their site to sound so good. How can that be?

And, the really pro-libraries are to heavy for my specs. Can you recommend me anything that you think would serve me better regarding sound, ease of use and load?

mojo horns are pretty good, as far as the garritan demos, who knows what they're doing and how long it took to make them. I've had the jazz and big band library and the orchestra for years, compared to my other libraries they don't get used much.
