What is the best way to convert LP's to CD's?

I'm getting ready to purchase a new Dell computer. I would like to convert some of my LP collection to CD for the conveniance. Besides a sound card do I need any other equipment? What do you all use and recommend? What types of CD\R or CD\RW sound better? Will I need some type of DAC to convert the analag to digital? I'm new to this process. Please let me know.

Rives talked about a sound card digitizing to 24/96. I take it you then use a DVD burner and either DVD-R or DVD-RW media. Correct?

Beowulf: not necessarily, in fact I don't. The 24/96 is the converter. That doesn't necessarily mean that it's saved in this native format (although you can) nor does it mean that you write to this format. In my case it's burned to CD-R and the bits are truncated. Of course, DVD at this sample rate would yield better results, but I don't have a DVD burner.
