Can I get another breakdown? PCI vs. Firewire vs. USB?

I think I'm going with Soundforge or Adobe Audition as my software. Does that help?

Mahalo,

Did anyone answer your question on SoundForge or Audition? Which one is better>

Someone told me that the interface should be external since an internal (PCI) can pick up sounds of the hard drive spinning???

If the soundcard picks up those kind of noises, it's just not a very good soundcard.
Arguably the best recording interfaces available on the market, those by Lynx, are internal PCI-cards. You won't hear Lynx users complain about static.
 
USB/Firewire interfaces are made for mobile users. Since you use a desktop, then just go with a PCI.

As for which card to get, it depends on how many inputs you want. I haven't heard about companys other than M-Audio in these forums, so I'm assuming they're the best for home recorders.
 
the Aardvark Q10 is a good PCI soundcard

it doesn't work well with dual processors, that's the reason i had to give up mine.

Aardvark went out of business.
