Do I need a Sound Card to Record Audio??

I'm going to be recording audio through a microphone, nothing fancy, just me talking. Do I need a good sound card to do that??

not unless you want effects in your voice or yours is crackling and stuff. onboard shoud be ggood enough for a simple voice convo like AIM and stuff.

Agreed, if you get a USB headset or something you wont even have to worry about a soundcard or anything as any USB mic-type-device is its own soundcard
