Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hello!

I'm mainly a hands-on drummer, and I haven't pursued my urge to get 
involved in the world of MIDI just yet. At the moment I have a 
modest CPU(laptop) with 1000MHz processor, 256 RAM, average 
soundcard. Would this baby be sufficient when I hook up my 
DTXpressII to it? Any comments on delay etc?

I would also like to know what kind of interface you would care to 
recommend. Not too expensive though, I only need the most necessary 
(MIDI In/Out). Any comments on your MIDI-experiences will be 
appreciated, apart from those I find on this page.

Thanks,

Rickard
