Best Answer

If your motherboard already has a VGA port, you do not need an additional graphics card. However, depending upon what you plan to do with your computer you may want one. Some motherboards come with fairly low-end graphics chipsets so if you plan to do much gaming, 3-d graphics or the like, you may find the onboard video is insufficient. The good news is that you can always add one on later if you discover you need one.

regardless of the motherboard and the graphics card type, installing a graphics card is standard. You need to find the pci express 16 slot on the motherboard. It should be the largest of the pci slots, and if you cant find them, you shouldn't be fiddling around inside your computer! Take out the metal cover on the case so it fits, and slot the card in until it clicks into place. Then start up the computer and install the graphics driver off the CD
