PC based analyzer


I have hobbled along with my Ratshack spl meter, a tone generator/frequency counter and It's time for an upgrade.OK, I have a PC with windows 98 ( I maybe upgrading soon,maybe ).I know tons about audio and little about the PC.Where does the mike go? What is a good mic for this type of work? Go slooooooow.You can't over explain anything to a person of little knowledge.Thanx

OK, so I down loaded the demo program and here is were I am at.My sound card accepts eighth inch jacks for a mic.Is this correct and can I still use my Rolls tone generator with the freq. counter or am I missing something?
OK, so the line in is for the mic ? And the line out is to run to the processor ? Then when I tell the PC to run a low freq. sweep or what ever test the program has on it the tone generator and PC are in sync.Can't be this simple can it ?
It will go to my EAD Ovation-8,which is my hometheater processor.I'm thinking that it will go to one of my analog inputs.What mics do you guys recommend.
