Laptop recording studio, suggested gear

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Hello everyone,
I am looking for suggestions for gear to add to my laptop to make it
suitable for live recording. I dont want too serious gear but
something better than the default equipment it comes with.

I was thinking about the audigy soundcard that is out for laptops and a
nice microphone.

Are there any reccomendations for mics? Is there a significant
difference between them?

Also, I only need to record one or two instruments so is there any
simple but high quality software suggested?

thanks
