Indeed, the SB cards get a bad wrap.... (pun intended) in many of the audio forums.... Yes they do have specs that are legit. But..... and I'll leave it at that.

And yes, it is possible that using ASIO4ALL (A4A) will get you into high cotton. I've personally never been able to get A4A to work even slightly with my computers in the past. I've had other people say that it was the magic cure that fixed all their problems. Try it.... it's a free program and if it works, you just saved a hundred dollars or more on an interface for now.

Eventually though, you will still want to get a decent interface for a host of other reasons besides the latency issues.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
