First thing to do is go into the Virtual Memory control panel pick Extensive
and Slow - that will maximise the preloaded buffer for each file. Once you are
using Virtual Memory you are working your hard disk very hard whenever the song
is playing. That is another reason why it is good to put your samples on a
separate drive - if it goes down you still have your system and can just
replace the drive and reinstall your samples,.

Using a  7200 RPM ATA disk will help. Are you using one - your system P4 1.7 is
a bit slow. P4 Willamette (slower than 2 GHz) processors suck actually
especially if you have PC133 RAM. If you want high performance you might need
an upgrade.
