Multi-use mic?

Hi guys!
I'm a beginner guitar player and want to strat doing some recording. As i don't want to spend much money for the moment i want to buy one only mic to record both, guitar and singing. Which is the best option?dynamic or condenser?any specific model?
I was also thinking of using it to record some percussion,djembe.

Thanks

Multi-core processors and Cubase/Reason

So here is the deal...

I want to get a laptop to use as a mobile DAW/electronic(midi)insturment/effects processor. I have the PreSonus Firpod and use a Cubase/Reason combo and a variety of plugins (Waves, Amplitube, etc.) to do most of my recording/production. I was wondering if it would be better to get a multi-core comp (c2d or X2) or get a single core processor.

What multi-channel preamp should i get

Hey i'm ordering my new 24" iMac soon than will come the digi 002 rack. I'm just not sure how the multi-channel preamp works with the 002 can anyone sum that up for me? What does it need to have/do? Also which would you recommend on a budget. The guy at my local pro audio store recomended a prosonus one not the firepod but another one that was 1300 bucks which is way to high for me.

digital multi-track or firewire base laptop recording?

after much consideration on my previous topic. i have considered to buy a digital multi-track recorder. but what is your opinion on it? would a firewire system be a better choice?

right now i am looking at the Fostex MR8HD Digital Multi-track Recorder & the Alesis MulitMix 8 FireWire 8 channel mixer/interface

my price range is now up to $450 USD.

Can anyone recommend a multi-purpose mic for around $500?

I'm dying to get a new microphone now that I can't borrow my old room mate's one anymore, which was a GrooveTubes GT66. I'm kind of a newb when it comes to mics! I want to get something that will suit my needs for recording vocals and occasionally guitars, instruments or random noises. I would even consider two different mics if they stayed within my price range!
