I'm with Lawrie.
With one change.

You seem to have a fast processor and fairly low RAM. This means the processor is waiting for the drive more often which MAY be the sound glitch.

However in 32 bit XP I think you max out at 2 GIG of (usable) RAM.
Correct me if I'm wrong, it's been a while.
[edit]From MS - The virtual address space of processes and applications is still limited to 2 GB unless the /3GB switch is used in the Boot.ini file.

Your processor/RAM combo is like having a corvette but only driving it around the block; it needs more room to really show its stuff!

That said, have you considered a newer PC or Operating System? XP stops support in 9 months I think. It's getting old.
