You might consider a dual boot setup. Have one install of the OS and all programs setup for regular chores such as internet, office stuff etc.
Then on the other OS install you can install and run only Audio apps. Kill all the unneeded services per the tweaks suggested in the links from post above. At this point you can also kill any hardware you don't need such as Network Card - Modem etc.
I've got a setup like this and have each install on it's own partition on a single drive (all audio data goes on another drive) and it works great. When recording audio, I've got maximum resources available for recording, mixing and plugs etc. When I need to do other stuff I just reboot and select the "office" install of the OS to load.
