Yup. Your system should be more than adequate to do quite a few tracks.

The only thing you might want to look into would be a 24 bit sound card. The one you have will do the job just fine, but if you're using a high-end mic, and you're going to want to use a lot of effects while retaining all of the life & sparkle, then you'd do better with a 24 bit card.

obviously, your pc specs have no direct relation to the quality of vocal recording....what does relate is the quality of the mic, the pre amp and the a/d converters..........if you are using external hardware, like a pre amp and a mixer or both or neither, and know how to use a mic, you can get a great sound out of a soundblaster at 16 bit.
