Hooking up Tech 1200 to PC...

I want to hook up some a Technics 1200 Turntable to mah PC.
Here are the ratings I had to find out:

The impedance range from the Aux in 2 input (RCA Jack) on
the Audigy Drive is 47 kilo OHMS. The input voltage is 0 to
2 volts peak-to-peak or .707 rms

Will I have to get an impedance converter or will I have to
turn the sound up more? Those converters are quite a chunk
of change...

mixer ?

ok dont worry about the impedance. just do this:
1200->mixer->linein.
the 1200 will produce a low voltage signal with a RIAA curve
on it, in other words, less bass, more treble. it will sound
messed up if you can hear it at all when directly plugged
into the pc.
the mixer corrects the RIAA curve and amplifies the sound to
LINE level, not PHONO (from the phonegraph-clever eh?). if
you dont have a mixer with a phono input and lineout, you
really shouldnt have/need 1200s at all. if you dont have a
mixer, you can buy/build a RIAA equaliser+amp.
