Any sound card with a "line in" (they almost all have that) will do it.
A better sound card will do it better.

You'll need a cassette player with a "line out" and a phono pre-amp
with a similar "line out" (which can be part of a receiver), plus
appropriate cabling and some software (there are many available
alternatives).

Any normal PC audio card can do. But don't forget
RIAA preamplification if you record vinyls.

Even a onboard audio (AC 97)will do.I have already done it, with excellent
results.If the original LPs are scratchless, then the final result will be
as good as the original.With tapes its easier, as they don't have
scratches.You need an (integrated)amplifier with phono in and line out
(usually it's tape out, or rec), so that you can listen to what you're
recording.
