I'm going to reformat and start my setup from scratch this weekend so I was reading some article on optimizing XP for audio, some interesting not-so-obvious stuff Like completely disabling system restore (yikes... thats a leap of faith) and totally killing virtual memory (if you have good fast RAM it forces it to use all of it as opposed to bogging down cpu based system resources) I'll edit this post and link it later when I find it.
But yeah man, get that FSB upgraded as soon as you can, it's like doubling your processor speed, its a whole new deal. Get the fastest RAM you can too. Especially in LE based systems where stuff like reverbs delays and amp-sims (sansamp is a friggin resource slut) just drains your resources like crazy.
