I installed an old 128mb stick of ram i had lying around inside my moms old computer and also installed the 6GB hard drive from that computer also, everything is working fine.

This thing is so involved, so far ive learned how to sample trim, loop & edit. Im still alil confused about some of the termenolgy like programs, zones, and things, but im reading the book constantly and I'll be asking more questions so thanks!
