A CPU overload usually means either a slow processor for the amount of work. RAM is kind of low, again, depending on how much you're doing. If you're using core audio it'll also put extra load on the CPU. You can increase the buffer size in the playback engine to help. The reference manual has details about what you can do about CPU usage. Apart from that, yeah, a new system will help.
