Changing graphics card

I've just found out that my gaming problems have been caused by a graphics card that is just not up to scratch. The graphics card is integral with the motherboard and is only 64mb. I need to install a 256mb graphics card, I think i've found the right graphics card but can I run that alongside the integral one and also how do I find out if I have a PCI interface?

    or open it up and look for the numbers on the motherboard

    if it can take it then you disable the on board graphics from BIOS

  • You should only have to disable onboard VGA if you're installing a PCi card. If it's AGP or PCi Express, you'll probably not need to ;)
