Something simple like this would do the job if you just need 2 stereo outputs for DJing and such.

ok if you don't go with the pcmcia thingy cornbb recommended, I'd look into getting a usb thing like thishttp://www.thomann.de/ie/maudio_fast_track_pro.htm

the m-audio website isn't exactly clear on how many outs it has (when you read it you'll see why I'm confused). It says 4 but it's always good to check that they mean - 4 actualy outs as opposed to 2 sets of the same stereo out.

There's a good few shops in dublin that do m-audio stuff so ask in one of those to double check.

it's probably worth investing a little money into your interface for djing, as quality D/A conversion is essential to even start having your tunes sounding nice on the way to your mixer/amp/etc.

that's my thruppence on the subject anywho. let us know how you get on as i'm looking to get something like this soon as i don't like relying on my aggregate device setup on my mac for playing out.
m-audio tend do be a decent affordable company in my experience.
