Soundcard for laptop?

[clausdk]

I have a Dell XPS M170 laptop with some internal soundcard.

Was thinking of getting this:

Worth the upgrade?

Also on top of that considering getting a better microphone!

Well, REW certainly doesn't require a good soundcard to work properly. You can get the cheapest one available as long as it has a line-in and line-out.

A good SPL/mic to buy is the Galaxy CM-140. We have the calibration file for it on the download page.

A good outboard soundcard to get is the M Audio Mobile Pre USB. A good mike would be the Behringer ECM 8000. You can generally find both together for about $150 on the street. Quite a few people use this setup.
