Hello Friends, the Soundlaster Live! is a very good (and low cost) PCI soundcard for your Windows 9X retro-computer. And it has a special feature: You can use any .sf2 soundfont you want - as long as you have enough memory installed. Here is a brief comparison between four different soundfonts:

2MBGMGSMT Soundfont (delivered with the drivers) (2 MB)
Weeds Soundfont (53 MB)
Chorium Soundfont (28 MB)
Fluid Soundfont (142 MB)

You can download the soundfonts at Phil's page: (Thank you Phil!)
philscomputerlab.com/general-midi-and-soundfonts.html

Of course you can use any other .SF2 soundfont of choise. Its just limited by your system memory - I have to had 256 MB installed to be able to use the Fluid soundfont as an Example.
