[linux-audio-user] Best sound card

[ed orphan]

I need advice on getting a very good PCI soundcard.
I hope to use it for recording my own multi-track
sounds using Linux Audacity with Red Hat 9.
Guitars and bass mostly. Maybe a DX100 keyboard
My system has an Athlon CPU,
Asus A7N8X motherboard with a gig of DDR
I'll be useing a Eurorack UB802 mixer for input.
Could someone tell me a good choice for
a sound card? I expect to spend about $250.
( I being optimistic! )
Any advice would be most welcome!
