you can get free programs to record and you only need a guitar to computer jack (1/4th to standard audio converter).

I use KRISTAL to record things

edit: run it through your amp though, from amp head to computer

Yes the M-Audio fast track is very good, that's what my brother is using.

Otherwise, personally, I bought a PreSonus Firebox not long ago and it's absolutely amazing (You'll need firewire connection though). It comes with Cubase LE4 (DAW) and it's very user-friendly and easy to use.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask ;)

Vouch, presonus is great. And you definitely want firewire, especially if you every plan on buying a large board later.
If you dont have firewire, buy a firewire card first haha.
