Masterlink or Computer Cd burning?q

Is there any sonic difference in sound quality if you burn your final mix into your computer with a program like DP or logic compared to recording your final mix into the Alesis Masterlink. I own a Apple dual gig G4. I know a lot of people record right intot eh computer or bounce in Pro Tools and burn CD's. I dont care about the storage factor or the mastering effects in the masterlink.

computer problems

alright, tonight I tried to boot up my computer and it was having problems. A message came up that said something to the effect of "There's a problem with your hardware. Check the Hardware Monitor for details." So I checked the hardware monitor but there was no explanation of anything, just fan speed and voltage ratings.

Computer or soundcard noise ?

Grateful thanks for any help or insight on this matter ! I just built my own DAW system, AMD 1.7 ghz XP, SiS chipset, Win 98SE, Soundblaster Live!, Tascam US-428 (for 24 bit audio). The really annoying problem I am having is that there seems to be electonic noise "seemingly" coming from the computer into my mixer(similar to the little zipping noise you get when you move the mouse).
