I'm shopping around for a starter digital audio recording setup. Guitar
Center wants to sell me the Mackie Spike interface with a Behringer Eurorack
mixer.

My machine runs Windows 98SE. Will this work or do I need XP or 2000pro?

thanx alot.

Spike comes bundles with the Tracktion DAW (very nice . Tracktion
and spike will work with 98se and up. But recommend XP. I think you
would be ok.

Spike is spec'ed for Windows XP only.

Yup, that's that the doc says. No word there about whether its USB 1.1 or
2.0. Therefore, its safe to presume its just 1.1 and therefore it's dicy or
impossible to run 25/96 2-channel full duplex.

The Behringer doesn't care, but Spike (the XD-2 interface and Traction
program - Spike is the name of the whole package) is only specified to
run under WinXP. It might work under Win2000, but you'd best ask if
that's your preference.

I don't know how much memory it needs in order to run efficiently, but
I know that my Win98SE computer probably doesn't have enough to keep
it happy, or even to run WinXP (128 MB) so you may be in for a big
upgrade here.

While Spike isn't really a mixer, it does have mic and line level
inputs. Are you sure you need the Eurorack mixer, or is that for part
of the project that you aren't telling us about (like a band PA
system)? If you only have tabletop recording in mind, you may be able
to do everything you need without the mixer. Your dealer may be trying
to sell you something you don't have to buy right away.
