O/T How to find out if fullduplex ?

Sorry for the off topic post, but you guys will know this. I have an MSI KT4AV board, no sound card but AC97 onboard. Works great with my games and the 4.1 system I have. I want to get a mic to record, but would be nice to use it in other ways. How do I find out if I have full duplex. Is it as simple as plugging into the mic jack? I've never used a mic and have never needed full duplex, and now I am curious before I head out and get it, would like to know. Thanks V

I think you will find all recent soundcards, onboard ones too, are full duplex.
