First of all, let me state that I have no experience with the Ableton 
looper (Per, any ideas about that how it compares to Möbius? I seem to 
remember you did use it).

Möbius syncs well with Ableton's engine in both ways (i.e. both Ableton 
syncing to Möbius and the other way round).

Better than what earlier versions of Ableton Live (XP) did; simply 
crashing the computer for lack of memory...

First of all, Möbius is already eight stereo loopers (think of it as 
eight brothersynced EDP pairs), so you'd only need one instance of it.
For comparison, I used to run Möbius as a plugin in Ableton live, which 
in turn also ran lots of plugins (e.g. Kontakt2 as a sampler) on an old 
Pentium M (passmark rating of 390 I believe) w/ 1GB of RAM without any 
problems.

So yes, at least you might give it a try. Btw, Jeff Larson (who wrote 
Möbius) is also on this list...

Yours,
