How do I get around the fact that I recorded too much audio?

Okay, so I got this new Sony PMW 200 camera and finally went high def for the first time. Turns out the camera records EIGHT channels of audio! I recorded a couple of programs with it and am now trying to get the HDCAM footage into Premiere Pro 5 (I'll have 6 in a couple of days.) Here's what I did. I took the files (HDCAM 50) and pulled them off the portable hard drive I used on site and copied them to a CLIPS file on my Raid drive. I am now using the media browser to bring the clips into my project. The problem is that the audio is so huge that I think it has been the cause of my system crashing a few times. I have about 160 clips. Am I better off just taking it slow and doing a few clips at a time or do I find some conversion software (help!) that will get rid of all that audio.

I have to have a show done in a few days and am sort of freaking out. I am new to all this. I realized I was recording alor of audio, but this all came down real fast and figured I could fix it in post, not taking into account the large file sizes due to all that audio. I literally had the camera one day and was shooting with it a couple of days later.

Any help would be extremely appreciated. Oh and I have been saving the program over and over, but found at a certain point that the system just crashed soon after I turned it on. I'm running it on a dual quad core Xeon (PC) with 8 gigs of ram.
