text: what do i need in my computer for it to be capable of creating music? basically, i need computer specs, like hard drive capacity, cables, equipment, software, memory, processor, all that (sorry, the caps button got stuck) i don't know much about music software, so i'll stick to the hardware end. i'd probably want: 2-western digital raptor hdd 75gb ea., 4gb ram, dual-core processor, zalman cpu fan, dual dvd+-rw, piano style keyboard, mike, cooler master case, 600 watt psu, 128mb agp video card, the best sound-card that you can afford. floppy drive with a card reader. tape backup. asus mobo. that's all that i can think of right now!
