Simple sound card for Guitar Rig

I've been trying to move away from Mac-based recording, because the programs I use (Pro Tools Free for OS 9) are ancient and inconvenient. I downloaded a trial of Guitar Rig 2 for Windows and played with it, and it sounded great except for one thing -- the latency. I'm certain this comes from my sound card, which came with my machine. I looked around at the various sound card options, but most of them seem like overkill -- I only need two inputs (I plan on getting a USB/Firewire device for multiple inputs later) and low-latency sound for the whole chain. Obviously, zero-latency direct monitoring wouldn't work, since I plan on overdubbing guitar tracks in real-time on top of backing tracks, and would like to hear the guitar with modeling effects. Can anyone recommend something?
