and my parents gave me $500 to spend on a new one. i'm a college student so i really dont have much more money to put into this. i already have a desktop that works fine for my mixing needs but i was thinking that it would be nice to track with my laptop onto an external hard drive that i have already and just plug the hard drive back into my desktop when i want to mix. i use reaper so i can just run that on both machines. i'm using the tascam fw-1804.
would these be good enough to handle tracking 8 tracks simultaneously?

how bad is it really if it only has 512kb of L2 cache?
how would i find out what kind of firewire chipset is in it? (i know i want a texas instruments one)
thanks for any help or recomendations!
