Nothing wrong with that, I've got much older machines and they serve me perfectly well
Don't worry too much about the motherboard model then.
And to tell if the card is onboard or not depends on the location of the socket. Nine times out of ten If it is grouped next to the main USB sockets sideways and about halfway up the case then it is onboard and if it is mounted parallel to the floor and in the bottom third of the case rear it is a separate adapter.
Your computer isn't branded or anything is it? Dell? HP?
