I have been using Virtual Dj for about 2 years now and I am just now up grading to Time Coded Vinyls. I wanted to know if i would run into any problems with this particular set up before i order all of my equipment
Laptop-Dell inspiron 9100 with an Intel Pentium 4 CPU with 2.80GHz/512 ram/ Windows Xp Edition
Turntables- 2 Stanton T-80 Digital Turntables
Mixer- Stanton M. 304 3 Channel Mixer
Soundcard- Maya 44 USB Soundcard
2 Time Coded Vinyls
Should this set up present any problems in terms of my laptop specs and my turntable choice? And also do I need any other hard ware?
Thank You so much

i'd say ram might be an issue, maybe upgrade to another 512 but sounds good as far as i see. The tcb seem to take more

Also, would I need two external soundcards to plug into my USB ports of my laptop(A maya 44 and another) or would I just need one Maya and my internal Soundcard on my laptop to make the TCV'S function Correctly?

he means TCV timecoded vinyl. no the maya 44 would be the only soundcard needed as it has 4 mono inputs/outputs.
to upgrade ram, you can do it yourself, really easy or have computer shop do it.
on the bottom of laptop there is a little piece that unscrews and you will see 2 ram chips in there just replace em with 2, 512mb chips.

yes sorry my FAT fingers typing away again. Try it with 512 it may work for you, but i think your much better off upping the RAM, I know i have to. Go for 1 Gb!

Your hardware is fine for TCV. To upgrade RAM you need to replace one of the cards in your laptop that most likely has 256 with another that has 512. You need to open up the bottom of your laptop (should be a separate "door" where you ram is). Typically you have two 256 cards. Take one out, go to your local computer store with the model number and info on your computer. I have 768 and it runs well. to get to 1 gb you would need two new cards which is rather expensive on a laptop. You can always start with 512, then go to 768 if you have problems and then 1 gig. If you're planning on doing videos you're definitely going to need 1gb.
