Studders and dropouts with lots of tracks

Anyone else run into this problem? Once I've got more than about 10 tracks of audio going at the same time, the playback gets choppy. I'm assuming I need more RAM? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

1Ghz Thunderbird
256 Meg of RAM

what kind of hard drive? I doubt it's the ram or CPU.

Not with a 1GHz and 256...you've got lots to do a LOT of work.

What's your hard drive like? Is it old? Are you using one drive for your apps + data or do you put your music on a separate drive from your apps? This shouldn't matter as much in your situation but get rid of screensavers, desktop themes and patterns, event sounds, and extra memory-resident programs that insert themselves into your system tray. A clean machine is a smoothly-running machine.
