My top bar is Rockiting up to about 70 and stuttering like fcuk.
Ive got about 11 audio tracks with waves plugs and stuff on each channel and a few groups and a few midi tracks.
im using a P4 3.2ghz with 512mb Ram, do u reckon if i upgade to a gig of ram that might sort it out.

a good sound card helps this situation a lot.
what sound card do you have?
are you using the ASIO drivers for it?
increase your latency/buffers on it.
at 70% cpu and studdering it sounds like your latency is either too low or you're using the wrong drivers.

Yeah sounds like a POS sound card to me. 70% cpu on a 3.2ghz P4 with half a gig of ram is nuts.

There are other factors of course that could play into the reason why you are getting studdering (such as disk like ZeMigL mentioned...) but from the sound of it the box is decently beefy.

A good soundcard is definatly worth the upgrade.. I failed 2 sugest this cause I guessed it would b considerably more expensive than the ram.. also the ram is a bit short anyways!
The asio driver/ buffer issue is definatly a must check (thanks DSP)...
The indicator is actually disk cache performance... (ruffly Disk usage...)
