Do I need a preamp for Omega Lexicon ?

I have a Maudio Delta 44 and when I try to plugin my bass directly into the soundcard, the signal is pretty weak. So I try it with a preamp and it works fine. Now I need to know that if I buy an an Omega Lexicon, will I still need a preamp for connecting my bass or can I sell my Delta 44 and the midiman AudioBuddy preamp ?

Lexicon lambda and laptops

I'm thinking of getting a Lexicon lambda, using it with a laptop to do recording and doing the audio editing on my PC. Looking at the minimum requirements has me worried - XP, Pentium III (preferably IV), 256M (preferably 512M of Ram) are okay, but it says 7200rpm Hardrive, which of course I don't have in a laptop. I think it's 4200rpm is what I'll have to work with.

Lexicon MX 200

Thinking of getting one to plugin to my dbx 376, as an "insert". Would simplify my VO work, as I could then do, basically, everything I normally do - going in(Both units have dbx compression and de-essing, so I could processs the life out of everything!). Apparently, when I move-up to Wavelab 6, I can even use the box as a " plugin ", via USB... Cute, I guess.
