According to the assocaited web page, the beta for RealAudio 2.0 requires a 28.8 modem AND a PENTIUM processor (on the Windows platform, of course). Pretty high hardware requirements for such crappy sound, eh? Internet Wave requires only a 14.4 modem and a 486 I believe, and the sound is pretty fair. alt-F-X ++dr. z Music is the KEY!
