One source you might try is Omega.  http://www.omega.com
They sell a lot of Labratory quality interface cards for PC/MAC.
They'll probably even send you a free catalog if you call. Huge hardcover catalog!

What are you measuring? Why do you need it to be so sensitive?
Another alternative - RS232 multimeter. There are a number of accurate multimeters which have 
RS232 interfaces and come with datalogging / measurement software.

I've been using one my company bought from Jameco http://www.jameco.com
I'm using it to take temperature measurements of a component we are considering using in our 
products. It only cost about $120!!!  
It uses a type K temp probe which can measure up to 1200 deg. C!  I haven't seen many RS232 
meters that can use these type of probes...

Also, you might want to check out some electronics magazines.  There are always tons of adds for 
stuff like this...
