no as a rule the graphics card overides the onboard graphics which is rendered usless
Thats Not exactly true... There are many systems that run several monitors from one computer. Essentially you can run two video cards and two monitors, just make sure you have the correct drivers allocated to the correct device.
Also, just by plugging in a Video card, does not exactly render the onboard video useless nor does it make it null...
In fact and especially in proprietary systems, ACER, Canon, IBM, Dell, HP, Packard Bell, Gateway, etc, etc..., if you do not disable the onboard video device, it can and will cause havoc with your system, especially during bootup and may even continue using system resources.

Can you have three or more displays on one graphics card?
The out-of-the-box answer is No. Unfortunately, all those graphic cards that advertise they can have more then two monitors kinda lie. Unless you use whats called an Active Passive Display Adapter and your graphics card has DisplayPorts, you cannot have more then two monitors per graphics card. Even if you plug it in, it just won't work no matter what and you will only have two at a time displaying anything except a black screen. Once you plug in the adapter, you will be able to have an additional screen on the graphics card however this screen will remain black during BIOS and loading.
What is the difference between a graphics adapter and an integrated graphics controller?
Nothing... A graphic card is a graphic adapter. A card usually specifies an adapter that is removable in a card slot, when the adapter can also be on the mother board. A graphics card is a graphic adapter, but not all graphics adapters are cards

If there are no graphics cards in the computer, it should be using the integrated graphics if you plug the monitor into the PC.
Your new graphics card doesn't fit your monitor plug?
You can purchase adapters that will change the plugs, ie DVI - Dsub. Simply insert the adapter onto your graphics card, and then plug the monitor lead into it. Hope this helps be safe Cadishead Computers

You can get any graphics card you want, your CPU doesn't matter. What matters is if you have a PCI, PCI-E, or AGP bus to plug the card into.

NO. If you have a pci-x slot, probably it is a server, and you want to upgrade your graphics card, you can buy a PCI card and plug it into your PCI-X slot. It should work probably.
What is purpose of a agp slot?
It's a graphics card slot for the AGP graphics cards (the card with the ports you plug the monitor into), and like PCI and PCI-X, was superceded by PCI-Express around 2004. Hope this helps! SeanHolshouser

The type of memory used by the graphics card. DDR1 is slower, DDR2 is faster. They both plug into the same slot in your computer.

either AGP or PCI - both are still used in new computers. Look at the contacts on your card - it will be obvious which slot it fits into.

No. They are physically and electronically incompatible. Attempting to plug an AGP card into a PCI-E slot will likely damage both components.
