Not sure which article you referenced.
I have an old version of Soundforge, 10c. It does not have the latest version of the iZotope 64 bit CRC, which can be found in RX4 or RX4 Advanced. If you are doing cut and paste type editing then I prefer the Soundforge user interface. It can also use iZotope plugins, such as their parametric EQ. However, for doing sample rate conversions or serious repair work I use RX4, because it has a much better user interface for these tasks, including a spectral editor which can be used to remove various noises by selecting time-frequency ranges and editing the plots. You can download a free trial of this software. (Unfortunately, it's not cheap.)
The older version of the iZotope SRC in Soundforge 10c is considerably slower than the newer version and has a more confusing interface for controlling filter parameters. In addition, all the earlier versions before the version in RX4 have a sub-sample time offset in their output. This makes it impossible to get a deep null when doing testing. The new version in RX4 will give a deep null if you feed it a properly bandlimited sample and then resample it (up and down or down and up). While this time alignment has little audible effect when listening to one track it is a big deal if one is doing comparison testing and null testing.
