opinions on my future mini studio

Hi everyone.

I'm putting together a portable mini studio and I was just wondering if anyone would like to offer comments/ opinions/ suggestions on my choices of gear. I'll mostly be recording typical rock instruments.

I'm starting off with a Toshiba laptop, which I already have. It's a 1.7GHz centrino, 512MB RAM, 60GB drive.

Line-in hiss with SoundBlaster AWE64

I've begun to experience hiss when recording through the line-in with my SB AWE64. Is there any way I can prevent this hiss?

I go headphone-out from my minidisc recorder, through a preamp, into the sound card's line-in. When I just play the minidisc audio through the sound card's line-in, the sound is excellent, with minimal or zero hiss.
