Recording On A Powerbook??, Multitracking Options

[marvin11]

hi there,

i want to record using a laptop. i know that in order to do the type of recording i need to do i will need a really fast one. i want to be able to record at least 4 or 5 tracks at once... will a powerbook do the job if i get the best one with 1 gig of memory?

what's a good setup to achieve a great recording if i do it this way?

thanks!
