As long as it is about tracks you want to keep on the long run better stay with 96k. It sounds smoother without question, gives more air and the gap is even bigger when it comes to fx processing and it will be likely of even more relevance in the future when you you want to retreat your stuff with the prospective standards.

It should be a much better idea to upgrade disk space and through put. As 64 bit technology is right before the door ( AMD boards are already avaialable, MS will release their new OS soon and SW program writers will be following ) the current top end will be dropping quite some in price.

Get a good mobo like a MSI, a CPU up from 2.6 AMD and an 8 mb cache hard disk and you should be fine. At least the mobo and CPU should come you cheapo around end of this year / early next. ( Same about DVD burners which are already around ~ 160$ and shall be dropping some more, help you keep your HDs clean from stored sessions.)
