So mercifully you say that you live in the moron spot. But, with my further questioning, the severity of my moron-icy will surely become apparent.
Music I know. But computers... Holy effin' shi-eyet I know not.

It's advisable to have the recording disk on that second controller. If you copy a file, it has to read the disk, then write the data. With two different controllers, you will get a better stream (performance) as one will be just reading and one will be just writing. This usually not a big deal if you are just recording a handful of tracks at once.

#1. So,... This = After choosing my OS, I must check that my drivers are compatible, right? Problem is, I don't know how to check such things. How do I figure this out? I'm supposing that I first decide on my recording software, and from there there will be certain drivers needed. After that... maybe these needed drivers will have indicated on them what OSs are compatible and which are not? Or am I going in an entirely wrong direction with my assumptions?
#2. Ok, before my head blows up from trying to absorb and comprehend all this new terminology... Q1: What is a "handful?" I'll probably be doing roughly 20. And, Q2: So... most computers have the capability to have this second, faster HD installed, correct? While buying a new PC, is there anything in particular that I should watch for, or will pretty much any newer model do the job?
#3. ...Gaddamn. This I have never even heard of. What must I do? And please use easy words so I can understand.
Your patience is appreciated. :
