I also used a P4, but with more memory. I started with 1G which was enough 
to record and mix etc. I did find that expanding to 2G(2.5 actually) made 
a difference in what plugins (and how many) I could play with. The general 
limitation was with the OS not audio. Turning the HT off was the 
difference between the very rare xrun with jack at 64/2 to no xruns even 
at 16/2 (ice1712).
