· Memory Usage - With older Windows versions (ie. pre Vista) even 128 MB will do for modest projects.
· Disk Speed - If your songs contain about ten audio tracks a fast hard disk (7200 RPM as opposed to the once standard 5400 RPM) is recommended. Make sure the disk's DMA capabilities are used.
· Video - 24 bit color depth is recommended but not required. Graphics suffer if the color depth is less than 16 bits.
· Audio Gear - You may need some special wires to connect microphones etc. to your soundcard, especially if you have a cheaper soundcard which typically use 3.5mm jack plugs, whereas microphones use 6.3mm jack plugs or XLR connectors. Using an external high
