2GB Ram
320 GB Hard Drive
256MB Geforce 8600 Video Card (I might play a game or two
Firewire
Windows XP for recording - (I hate vista...well I hate windows but recording works here)
Ubuntu Linux for everyday stuff (yep I'm a geek)
I was wondering what some of the home recordists are using for interfaces. I live in a Remote City in northern Ontario (Timmins)and the only "recording Interfaces" are Line 6 Guitar Ports and the built in sound cards...unless you want to order one without any education from the local shops....I'm looking at the Presonus Inspire Firewire interface since it's only about $200 retail but can't find any magazine reviews....any suggestions would be helpful....

Line 6 is great for it, its what i use most of the time
I also have EMU 1616M digital sound system
alot of people are using the Firewire setups and love them
Vista is a nightmare for anyone trying to record on computer
because it drains so much Ram, i sure hope XP sticks around
a few more years
