If you aren't planning on buying a specific piece of audio hardware for recording, then your results aren't going to be fantastic. The only thing I can think to improve your recordings without upgrading is check that the input you're using on the soundcard is the 'line in' not the 'mic in' socket...

a 'mic in' socket is for a low level signal from an unpowered microphone, a 'line in' is for a line level powered signal, which is what will be coming from your amp. If you are putting this signal into your 'mic in' socket, it will be overloading it and distorting it.

And on the software side, I'm still fond of Cubase SX3 - I have used Pro Tools and other high end gear in pro studios in the UK, but for home use I think Cubase covers all the bases, and you can get a real high end product out of it!
