Ok i'm thinking about running my home studio through a lap top verses a desktop. I know you can't install the standard recording audio card into a laptop but I have seen interphases with 1/4" inputs ins and outs that you plug into your computer via USB. Would one of theses work with a lap top and would still need a new audio card or would the standard audio card that comes with the laptop be sufficient? Also I have an oppurtunity to pick up a laptop at very little to no price. The downside is that it is only 32mb of ram with an origninal Pentium processor i think around 133mhz. It is operating under windows 98 and seems to run quite quickly. Would this do the job if i only used it for audio recording? I'm thinking about upgrading the ram to 512mb if it is at all possible. Well anyways any help would be apreciated on the pros and cons versus laptops and desktops and also usb interphses versus internal audio card interphases. Thanks!
