Im not to big of a computer guy so i need help trying to find the right set up.All i need is something that would let me record my music from my drum machine into pro tools then let me record vocals.Iv'e been looking at the Mbox 2 mini or the Mbox 2 to get this done do you think this would work.The thing is that I'm not sure my computer will support the mini, this is the Mini requirements:
(PC requirements: Intel Pentium 4, Centrino, Core Duo, or AMD Athlon XP and 64-class processors and chips; Windows XP Home or Professional, Service Pack 2; 768MB RAM; Open USB port (USB hubs not supported); DVD-ROM drive

Here are the specs of the system I am using:IBM Lenovo C200:
