Absolutely avoid system motherboards with built-in sound cards. Also
avoid
low end cards that are shipped with a factory built computer.

Hard Drive Recommendations: Two 4 GB or larger Ultra SCSI HDs with an
Adaptec 2940UW SCSI controller recommended for 96 tracks. EIDE 2.5GB HD
Minimum.

MIDI interface: Most parallel and serial interfaces are fine. But be
aware that interfaces that don't have a power supply tend to experience
timing problems. The best scenario has been a sound blaster compatible
with all audio functions turned off and the Steinberg MPU401 driver
supplied with Cubase experience the best overall MIDI clock accuracy.

Video Card: AGP Video Recommended. Video system that supports a
resolution of at least 800x600 pixels minimum.
