Obviously my powerbook cant handle it anymore. I only have 667 mhrz. Is there anything I can do or do I need a new machine. It is pretty old?

Internal Powerbook drives are slow and will bog down when the track load gets high. Also If you have less than 768MB RAM, you will force the OS to use your hard drive for virtual memory, not a good thing when you are trying to record to the same hard drive. -------------------- G-Dub
