There are quite a few options, but it would be good for you to state what your intentions are in order to steer you towards that which would make the most sense for you.

For example, someone wanting to make good quality recordings would want to invest in a higher quality guitar system, while someone wishing to use the programs for practice, or even for gaining knowledge about recording, but not wishing to break the bank, could easily get by with one of the simpler and less expensive options.

So what are your intended uses and goals for this?

@cemil: >you need a decent sampling rate.

yes,that is important

i'm quite new to all this. with your all's reply's i say i want to experiment with Amplitube and record some bars of chords, melodies from my guitar just to practice along. and have BiaB transpose to diff keys and practice that.

the sampling rate is important. minimal latency too.

i have a decently powerful notebook i've setup just for my music studies and practice:
i7 2.6GHz,16GB ram, SSD drives, via & nvidia hiDef audio,

edit: update

i searched a bit after reading your posts as i kinda know a bit more of what to look for. i saw these products...

Alesis GuitarLink Plus
Behringer UCG102 Guitar-to-USB Interface
MIDItech Guitarface II USB audio interface
Alesis iO2 EXPRESS


for my wallet and its "phantom power" capabilities i'm liking the "Alesis iO2 EXPRESS". it will bypass my sound card and i think not have latency issues.

thank for the help
