Do you actually want to stream the audio from the site (to say, have control
over whether or not the audience can save it to disk or not)? You could look
at Realaudio (www.real.com) or the MP3-based Shoutcast (www.shoutcast.com).
The problem with actual streaming is both finding a web host who'll allow it
(afaik, my ISP allows up to 2 realaudio streams in someone's personal
webspace, but it's not that common), and having to choose a bitrate that
suits all of your audience (or have several streams for different
bandwidth).
Because of the latter (ie. having to stream audio with the constraints of
the connection), streaming audio isn't very high quality. If you just want
people to hear your work, why not get an MP3 encoder and try lots of
bitrates until you find one that gives acceptable quality and a reasonable
filesize.

Do the memory first, a larger hard disk won't do anything for the disk
paging problem. 32mb is a very small amount these days, especially for audio
editing. A good rule of thumb is to take the size of the largest wave file
you need to edit, then double it and add a bit to work out how much RAM you
need.
Simon -> 192mb and i'll buy another 128mb when the prices come back down...
