But if the minimal 16 Bit requirements are already a mountain too tall, it's safe to say that the computer is vastly underspecced for this sample set. It's better not to buy this sample set as you will otherwise only be disappointed ... which won't be the fault of the sample set.
If the RAM is already a big hurdle I would also check the processor ... the surround sets which have become fashion over the past few years also have big polyphony requirements.

I bought the wet version of this set last week and I was a bit anxious whether I could use it on my Mac Mini 2012 because this computer has only a maximum RAM of 16 Gb. The current Hauptwerk version allows the use of 14.8 Gb for sample sets - a vast improvement compared to earlier versions.
It is clearly impossible to use the sample set with 20 bit or more, and even for 16 bit the amount of RAM is not quite sufficient. My solution was to load the tremmed versions of Mixtures, Cymbaals and Sexquialter only in mono - I would never use a Mixture with the Tremulant anyhow. With this small restriction the organ loads without problems. Since the CPU (2.3 GHz Intel Core i7) is quite powerful, I don't have any issues with polyphony.
I am therefore very happy to use this magnificent set; maybe in the future I can switch to a computer with more Gigabytes of RAM...
