They will use CPU power. Thats the nature of PCI components. All integrated components will still use the PCI bus.
Its minimal at that. It was a big deal when we only had 166MHz to work with. But the the GHz machines don't flinch.
The audio is probably decent for most people. But if you do music & such, you'll want a good card to handle it. The LAN is probably sufficent though.
