Carl Mertz Asked: How do you record audio with a microphone directly to your computer?

So i just bought some music editing sofware for my computer, its a Sony Vaio Laptop that i bought about 8 months ago. I was wondering if it is possible to record audio on my computer by plugging a microphone directly into it without a mixer board or a MIDI interface, is this possible? and if so, what mikes and/or cords should i use? I am not looking to throw a lot of money at it, and simple is preferable to complicated.

The E5800 is pretty much on par with my E8400 bench mark wise save the extra cache of the E8400.

Change the following

Power supply : 500w or better
Mid range graphics card of choice because the G 310 is pretty weak and will probably stutter if games are set to high.

Other than that for now @ least you should be fine the reason I say mid range graphics card is an uber expensive graphics card would probably be bottle necked by the E5800 making it pointless that and mid range is enough to play modern games @ decent settings.

Ram is not the problem.4 GB ram is good enough to handle any game.But the problem is with the processor and graphics card.It has pentium E5800 dual core processor which has now become outdated.Most of the new games require core 2 duo or core 2 quad processor.But it can handle games like cod waw,cod 4 and mine craft.Now coming to the graphics.It is really poor card for gaming purpose.It can handle games like cod world at war but not cod black ops.Yes,it can easily handle minecraft.
