Get a used Audiophile 2496 then, shouldn't be hard to find a used one. A tried and tested bestseller. It's a bit old but it's still supported, latest Windows drivers are from May 2011. I've used it myself on both XP and 64-bit Windows 7. IIRC there's a Linux driver for it as well, and someone even wrote a Hackintosh-specific driver for it (Intel Macs don't have PCI slots).
http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Audiophile2496.html Expensive gear is not necessary to make good/useful recordings - The attached mp3 is a recording of my band (that's me on the drums) for demo purposes done on an old Sound Blaster Audigy 2 sound card using the free ASIO4ALL driver and Adobe Audition 3. I recorded one or two tracks at a time. I used some old, beat-up Brazilian Shure-clone vocal mics for everything, everything went through a Soundking AS2044CE mixing console. There's a little reverb on the voice, some post EQ and a mastering compressor/limiter applied, all done in Audition. The click track was done in Reason, with handclaps from Carwash :-)
