It sounds like you may need to switch programs...
I've been using Sound Forge and CD architect ever since it was released.
the first machine i used it on was a p120 with win95. It could handle 70+
minutes of stereo audio...rending effects was slow but
i could do edits on that...since then i've moved up to a 166mmx a 200mmx and
now i have a dual Xenon 450.
i can still edit on my 166mmx and i can still burn cd's on a all of those
machines...mind you i'm running Scsi hard drives and Cd drives.
IDE and EIDE just dont cut it for audio work.
It'll work but i have to sit and listen to the entire mix off the hard drive
to make sure the drive didnt hiccup while recording...
it used to happen alot on the 120 when i had eide but constant defrags
helped. switching to scsi helped.
also, i think when i did my first ever mix CD on a computer back in 96 i had
only 64 MB of ram and a 1 gig hard drive.
you'r machine seems like it should handle it if i can still do edits on slow
ass pentiums so try swthcing to Sound FOrge...also
clear your temp directories and defrag...let windows manage the memory.
aight peace
