I know similar questions have been asked millions of times, but I'm new and stupid, so please don't hate! haha

I have a pretty new Dell Latitude D820 laptop running Vista. The sound card that was included is a SigmaTel card. The specs SAY that the input connection is both a microphone and line in input. (so according to them - the one input is both for microphone and line in). I'm assuming that the computer / card can tell the difference between the two and boost the microphone (if a microphone is being used).

Does anyone have experience with this card? Is this in fact a line-in input? Anyway to test if it's a true line-in? Or do I just need a usb sound card?
