I need a good recording sound card...

[imported_Krypto]

My friend wants to use a computer only for audio recording. He's got a pavilion 4450 that's been upgraded a little and he needs a good cheap audio recording soundcard. Any suggestions?

Cheap as in how much $?

Well, he would like under 50 bucks but I'm going to say 100.

They both support 32 and 64 bit drivers along with ASIO 2.0

can't go wrong with the hammerfall cards, or the 1010 from maudio, the audiophile... any of the above. The straight converters are nice b/c you will soon be addicted to the world of boutique mic preamps and will want to be able to use them with your interface.
