   You do not need 64 megs of ram. Audio uses HD and not much ram. You
might want to get a smaller HD and buy a Jazz Drive, DAT , CDR or
CDrewritable, Mini disc. ...anything to store your work digitally. You
don't want it on your hard drive, it may crash.
Forget the SB...go with a Card D+ with an I/O card or one of the lesser
sound cards.
If you can afford all of the above go ahead and just add what I have
suggested but I think
you would be wasting alot of money. If you can get the Pentium II you
would be much better off...the faster the Pentium the more tracks you
can record.
