* System Information Windows XP HOME

Problem: Experiencing Choppiness / clips during playback

Details:

four minute song
The firepod is set to a sample rate of 96 KHZ
The recording is set to 32 bits per track.
I recorded 13 tracks of drums, guitar, and bass in previous sessions.
Added 7 tracks of vocals in one session BEFORE SAVING. Did not experience any choppiness or processing problems until I saved the tracks. It seemed to playback/record fine until I saved the additional tracks to disk. After saving the tracks, I was unable to play the song to completion much less record additional tracks without the mix cliping. I need to add about 5 to seven tracks to the song however I cannot even play it thru.

Why did the song playback and record without any problems before I saved it to disk?

I am assumeing that the hard drive is not able to keep up with the playback What can I do to fix this?

I have optimized Windows XP HOME and Audition 1.5 according to the MD's Tips: Optimisations under the tips and tricks thread and also disabled non esential services accoring to a Maximum PC article.

Please offer sugestions.
