i don't think more RAM will solve this. maybe the audio drivers have a bug. also try increasing the buffer (ask if you don't know how [i will get an email because i subscribed here, like in all threads where i answer])
It could be Realplayer screwing up because it is sluggish on an Intel T7300 processor. I have played MP3 files on an Athlon 700 MHz and even on a Pentium II 400 MHz with no problems. I suggest use mplayer from the command line to play the MP3 file. It could be the hard drive is going.
