Can anyone help?

I'm looking to record two live acoustic instruments or vocals (classic guitar and flute or voice), probably with small condenser mics, and have enough software to clean up the recordings and publish and burn to cd.
I have a Mac G4 400mhz w/640 ram.
I'm thinking of Garageband, but am not sure what else I need. Will something like an M-Audio Delta 1010 card be enough to get going? Should I get Protools instead of Grageband?
Would I be better off with an MBox or a Motu 828 or something like that?

I will also be doing some composing in the near future, and will probably get Reason or Logic Pro. Should that have any impact on what I need right now, just for recording? Thanks everyone!

Reason is a midi only player and plays sample it has absolutely no audio recording cpabilities
Garageband would be perfect except it is a cpu hog
there are several other options depends on how far you want to go really.
Try some of the demos out for things like http://www.intuem.com or even a free version of cubase LE which comes with some hardware as you'll need an audio interface probably though cubase LE is not intel mac compatible yet Intuem is suppose to run in a G3 though but i have not tried it on a low spec system
