I can load the entire sounfont without any error with my audigy 1 OEM (I
have 256MB of RAM).

I've tried and some programs don't play any instrument (around 10% are
not assigned). With qsynth I can play all the 127 instruments instead.

I've read some time ago that the Live card is limited and can load
soundfont untill to fill half of the system RAM, while the audigy can
load any soundfont size limited only by the free RAM. Maybe that was
only another false creative's claim  (as the 24bit on the audigy 1).
