Reply to pc-recuirements for VCI / traktor

Hi guys,

I'm planning on buying a DJTT VCI-100 on of these days, but I was wondering if it all would work on my -simple- laptop.

These are the specifications of my laptop:
-intel core duo t2450 @ 2GHz
-2 gig RAM
-Vista 32-bit

as I'm totally new to digital DJ'ing -and to this community -, don't shoot me if this is something I should have easily found elsewere (which I didn't).

Another question (but it might be a bit off-topic over here):
I'd like to buy the VCI really to start DJ'ing with. It seems to me this is the most 'value for money'-option there is, or am I wrong? Is a VCI sort of suited for a beginner to learn on?

Thanks in advance!
