probably even your system drive will pull it off if you're only doing 24-32 track projects. Most modern 7,200 RPM SATA drives will handle that. HDD speed is important in terms of max track counts, although remember, Pro Tools LE 8 is limited to 48 mono or stereo tracks unless you get one of the optional "Toolkit" packages, which up those counts to 64 mono or stereo tracks. RAM is also important there, as well as for virtual instruments. ![]() Remember, with an LE system, the computer's CPU is going to be one of the biggest factors in terms of the plug-in processing capabilities of the system. If you plan on using a ton of plug-ins, lots of tracks, and several virtual instruments, the fastest computer CPU you can get and lots of RAM are definitely important. It really depends on what sorts of things you'll be doing with it - if you're recording basic band demos, don't plan on overdubbing tons of parts, and have modest plug-in use / requirements, you can get by with a relatively modest computer. OK, first, you should assess your needs - both now, and with projections into the future.
