Guest DNBJerk(s) Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Kay, so a friend is giving me her laptop, and I am gladly accepting. It's a Dell Inspiron 8200. (2.0GHz-M Intel Pentium 4, how's that, any good?) I recently bought a M-Audio keyboard. It's the O2. Basically, my plans for the computer is a 2GB RAM upgrade. Also, looking for a good firewire sound card, need some suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DNBJerk(s) Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 yea thats a decent laptop, but your 2 gig plan wont work, it'll only support up to a gig of memory. 2 memory slots, each slot only being able to hold up to a 512mb stick heres the specs http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/syst...sm_en/specs.htm I noticed that, but I stumbled upon this: http://www.seedwiki.com/wiki/inspiron_8200...cfm?wpid=248470 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Promo Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 I use a Behringer FCA202. It's the cheapest external firewire card out there but you can only use jacks with it. Essentially it allows me to play notes in without any delay if I want to make music on my laptop but for playing Live its not that great as the output keeps er cutting out. Other people haven't had a problem with this soundcard but for some reason in a live situation it refuses to behave. Whether that's down to the quality of my cables or something else I don't know. Actually I'm curious if anyone else has this Sound card and if they've had any problems with it in a live scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
