Audio input to Dell Dimension E510
Is there a way I can hookup audio Y adapters to the back of the Desktop, so I can use the Audacity program to transfer audio cassettes to CD's? The Dell manual for this desktop was not to clear.

The manual is very clear and very specific. The Dimension 5150/E510 comes with 5 in one sound. This isn't a ronco one step set it and forget it. You have to save each track and then burn a Redbook audio cd with a program like roxio cd creator. There is no one button put a cd in and burn directly from analog to digital.
Blue is Line in. Pink is Mic in. Green is speaker out. Page 64

Thank you very much. Most of the cassettes were recorded using only 1 track.

I used a Monster adapter cable for this purpose: it converted an RCA pair into a standard PC line-in. It worked well with Nero Wave Edit, which I used to 'slice' the raw audio into individual tracks, which then could be burned to CD.
