dawg u need a whole new pc IMO. I doubt your mainboard will utilize as much memory as you need. and as cheap as pc parts are these days you might as well just upgrade your shit. Here's what I recommend for you:

Mainboard
ASRock M266 G-SALM P4 Socket 478
- onboard video/audio/LAN
- included 56k ASR modem
(Maximum price - $50 after shipping)

Processor
Pentium 4 Celeron Processor
- between 1.7GHz and 2.0GHz
- Socket 478 <<< Very Important
(Maximum price for 1.7GHz - $65 after shipping)
(Maximum price for 2.0GHz - $80 after shipping)

Memory
NANYA Memory
- 512MB
- DDR 266MHz <<< Do NOT settle for 133MHz
- ECC
(Maximum price - $80 after shipping)

Hard Drive
Western Digital Ultra ATA-100
- 40GB 7200RPM
(Maximum price - $50 after shipping)

PC Case
AsiaPro V70 Mid Tower ATX Case
- 430W Power Supply
- Front Access USB (2 Ports)
- Intel Pentium 4 Support
(Maximum price - $40 after shipping)

Tips:
- Use the parts and brands I have described. Do NOT buy a PC from Dell, Gateway, HP, or Sony. Build your own.

- If you want more hard drive space do not replace the 40GB HDD. Add another hard drive as a slave drive to your PC.

- Do not load any unnecessary programs on your PC such as games.

- Use either Windows XP Professional or Windows 2000 Professional. Stay away from Windows 95, 98, and Me

- Update ALL software and drivers as you install them. Make sure you update Windows BEFORE you install anything else

- Do not put your programs and data on the same hard drive partition. Either create 2 partitions on the same hard drive or use 2 separate hard drives.

This PC should cost no more than $300 and should be more than enough to power your studio. I sell the exact PC with 48x CD-RW, Floppy Drive, 75 CD-R discs, Windows XP Pro, Norton Internet Security 2003, Norton System Works 2003, and CD Creator 5 Platinum for $350. I sell a lot of these PCs. They are EXCELLENT systems. So if you're not sure how to configure this stuff properly, feel free to contact me.
