Wow

I'm glad I asked then! I would have assumed that ALL
motherboards now days had some form if integrated video
and sound!

Inclusion of integrated sound is pretty good. I cannot remember
the last motherboard that lacked some form of sound. Some of
the motherboards now, even include their own separate sound card.
And that is done, to improve the background noise level in the
sound subsystem. (The motherboard is an electrically noisy place.)

So getting *some* sound is not a problem.

Video, on the other hand, is pretty well divided between small
and big motherboards. The small ones get it, the big ones don't.
On the big ones, you can put in a separate video card in the
provided AGP or PCI Express x16 slot.

You can find cheap video cards, although they may not play games well.

This card is "so good", they couldn't even afford a picture :-)
