Initial thought: you can never, ever, ever, ever have enough RAM in your 
computer to do smooth audio capture and editing. Memory is dirt-cheap 
these days. Go out (or have your son go out) and get as much as your 
computer can handle. You'll get change from a $50 bill, no matter how 
much you get, and your recordings will be much smoother and your crashes 
less frequent.
