When I began recording into my old PC (PII 333MHz,256ram, 8Gb 5400rpm
HDD for audio, Cool Edit Pro, GadgetLabs 824), my poor PC froze,
clicked & snapped, gapped, burped and farted if I MENTIONED 6 tracks
at once.

I've since built a new PC just for recording. Recording 8 tracks while
playing back 8 is never a problem even when running effects. Here's
what I have: Asus CUBX MB w/BX chipset, PIII750, 256Mb ram, 20Gb
7200rpm OS HDD, 27Gb 7200rpm removable audio HDD, Matrox 32Mb dual
head video, GadgetLabs 824 interface.

I recommend that you upgrade :)
