Ok, I think it's time to up-grade.
Here is my profile::: Amature hobbyist musician, plays in local band, plays to own backtracks, does not know keyboard or guitar, but understands music, relies on help from musician friends for musical arrangements, medium computer savey, only uses Audacity for mixing, retired and broke...!
System::: 32 bit Windows 7, 3.00GB RAM, 4800+2.5GHz processor.
So, what do you recommend.???
Thanks, Walt
