I can only speak for my computer, which works well for the needs you describe. AMD Phenom II X3 720 ASUS M4A78T-E motherboard (no longer sold) 4GB memory 7500RPM SATAII hard drives I heard that "NewEgg" is having a sale on Socket AM3 CPUs. > Finding a supported sound card it's really a problem, I'll just go > with M-Audio for that.

I feel like the A->D converter is very important in a sound card, but I don't have proof, and preliminary research at the McGill Audio Quality Lab suggests otherwise.[0] However, SoundBlaster hardware isn't designed for music so much as for movies and games.
