Andy, You need to know which model it is so you know how much it can be upgraded...and what you will be able to run on it after you do. Ableton Live will almost certainly run on it. As for a soundcard, what you really need will be an audio interface, as Mac notebooks don't have user-serviceable "sound cards" per se...and knowing which Mac it is will determine what interface you'll be able to use effectively (there were changes in the Firewire ports at one stage in the laptops history...so it's an important thing to know). Hope this helps.
