Is there a sound card available that will generate a frequency as high as
500 Khz?

No, not a 'sound card' - even the most high-end 'professional'
cards run at 196ksps and will only reproduce 90kHz or so. Perhaps
National Instruments or a similar company makes some instrumentation
interface that will output a digitized signal through a D/A at 1msps,
which is what you would need to generate 500kHz.
The highest sample rate of most common soundcards is 48ksps (the
standard for DAT), which means the max frequency it could generate
would be just under half that, or maybe 22kHz.

You might be able to remove the reconstruction low pass filter from the
DAC output and replace it with a band pass centered around the region of
interest. Sin(x)/x will roll off the amplitude of the resulting signal,
but you may be able to get what you want....
