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 is absolutely correct! actually, he uses exactly the same programs beginning to end i do with master-quality results. i just made a copy of my MFSL david bowie ziggy stardust LP and burned it with nero's advanced master-quality-thingie and the burned cd sounded better than the ryko release when played in my cd player. i use an audiophile 24/96 sound card by midiman, which has gold plated rca inputs and a fantastic A/D converter.
