Yes, it's definitely much easier to record skype calls on the Mac with
audio hijack pro. I do it all the time for podcasts. Prior to this I
used my windows pc, and you're right, two sound cards were required.
There were supposedly ways to easily record skype on the PC, but I
never got any of them to work.

Hi!
I'm dead certain that this has been mentioned before on this list
but for those who don't know and who may be interested, Audio Hijack
Pro is an excellent tool with which to record Skype calls should you
need to, I use it here when I ring my local bank, handy to jot down
the bank receipt numbers.
The process of recording the calls is simple enough, all the
configuration is done for you by default with Audio Hijack Pro and
actually, if you were to manually configure this then you'd find
that it was a little involved as it uses various additional plug-ins
which come with Skype to accomplish the task, all steps are detailed
in the Audio Hijack Pro manual if you wish to see how exactly its
done, you may need this information to set up future applications
with Audio Hijack but for now, all one need do is select the "Skype"
session from the Hijack sessions table, press the Hijack button,
press OK to the advanced Hijacking Options, press record and make
your call, simple as that.
Now I don't want to brag but recording Skype calls on a Mac seems to
be an absolute breeze when compared to doing the same thing on a PC,
I could be wrong but from what I hear it involves a whole heap of
messing about with multiple sound cards and of course, you have the
problem of software speech to deal with <smile>.
