Hi,
                                                                                
I've been playing with Ardour and so far I really like it.  Right now
I'm using a very cheap mic with my Sound Blaster Live! card.  I can
currently only record two channels at a time, and was wondering if
anyone has a recommendation on some hardware that would enable recording
four channels at a time.  I don't need anything really professional.
                                                                                
Also, I have a AMD Athlon 2600 XP and my harddrive is a 7200 IDE.  Would
the performance bottleneck likely be my processor or my harddrive?
Also, is it possible/a good idea to make a ramdrive and record to that?
                                                                                
I'm running a stock 2.4.22 kernel, but am planning on applying the low
latency patches it to get better performance.
