You're really serious? You could pretty much record phone calls at 8Khz 
sampling, and still sound almost the same. ;)

I've used the internal sound cards of motherboards many times for all kinds 
of things. It sounds fine. Phone calls are almost a "joke" in the sense that 
your audio is limited to what, 200Hz to 3Khz? I'm just amazed to think that 
there would be even a slightly noticible difference between a built-in and a $99 
Prosumer card on phone call audio! Classical Music, maybe. Phone calls? I just 
can't imagine it. :)
