Buy Soundblaster Live. It's a cheap and simplified version of EMU APS. It has all the stuff you need to get started. I've got APS myself but it costs a bit more.

I don't know which Turtle Beach you you are refering to. But you don't want to buy an ISA card wich gives you an option to have a daughterboard with lame preset voices on it, do you? SBLive gives you a sampler with soundfont compatibilty.

turtle beach is good but has a lot of incompatibilities. The sbLive is easy, compatible, has a sampler (soundfonts) and comes with a lot of usable softwares in its full version (not the "value" version"). i think it's the best card to begin with.
there's a www.sblive.com if u wanna know what soft come with it.
