Thanks so far guys/gals.

You will probrably find this completely hillarious but before I can check and get the specs I have to get a monitor :o.

This was my sons old computer he used mostly for burning CD's and games--not homework or school, or guitarforums like I intended :)

It went caput last year and the tower has been in the closet. We are planning to get the monitor in about 2 weeks. Cheapy used one since we will strip the programs to only what we need for recording and uploading. All games and extras are going to be deleted.

As soon as we have it functioning I will post the specs and the current soundcard.

Than you all again for the help so far.
