Philip,

Gabriella is a superb instrument...  not that you would part with it,  
but its quality of construction and sound puts it into the $5000  
category.

Since you are not doing intense multi-track work, you don't need lots  
of memory and CPU to do decent recordings.   However, you need a  
decent interface and, if you prefer to record with a mike, a decent  
mike.  99 bucks probably isn't going to be enough to do your  
instrument justice.

You could do pretty good work if you have, say... around $500 or so.   
You could probably get a decent pair of mics (needed for stereo  
recording) and a clean USB interface.  Also, most interfaces are  
bundled with recording software.

Anyway, just my opinion...
