I am about to purchase a pc for home recording use. I have been out of the know for about a year and half so I'm not too sure whats good or not.

I'd like to find out how much power I am going to need on my pc as well as how I can cheaply (but not too cheaply) get recording.

I have done alot of home recording and recording in general in the past its just been a while since I've done any proper research.

So far I am think of getting PIII 1.5 ghz with a fair amount of hard drive space, 256 mhz of ram and perhaps getting a C-port of something similiar to record with. With regards to software I have used Logic Audio and Cakewalk audio before so probably one of these but not sure if there is anything else.

Basically what i am looking to do is get a good compositional tool with half decent sounds and capabilities.

If anyone can help?????????????????????
 
what youv'e got so far sounds like a good start... heard plenty of good stuff about the c-port... although (this is hear-say) you might want to look into going for an AMD athlon processor, i've heard they are better... but yeah, it seems like a nice little set up your looking at
 
I would advise getting 512 mgs of RAM. It is so cheap these days the difference between that and 256 is like $10. Not sure how well the P3 performs over 1GHZ...and not too sure about the P4 for that matter...you could go with the AMD Athlon XP 1800 or 1600 at 1.4 GHZ.
