It depends on the computer, and where your card is inside it in relation to

To give an example, my RME HDSP9632, when sitting right next to my video
card, would pick up interference. I put it there because that was the only
PCI slot I had. I then moved it to a PCI-X slot as far away from the video
card as I could, and I no longer get any audible interference.
How much interference, depends on placement of the card, placement of other
objects in the computer, quality of components and design of the card(How
well it protects it signal path), and a few other factors I probably know
nothing about;)

While the 1010LT is cheap, it has the converters
builtin (the same for
the 44
and 66), which means they pick up the electronic
noise from inside the
computer. And there is a lot of this electronic noise, otherwise the
cases
wouldn't need to be made of metal to shield
the environment...
While that is theoretically true, in my own practical experience it
hasn't been an issue with my 66. I think many others here have had good
experiences with these cards, even though the converters are inside the
case on the PCI card. That said, ianaa (audiophile) and ymmv.
