Is there a video card within laptops?

In order to display ANYTHING on a monitor you must have some kind of video circutry in your computer system. Whether it's an actual card that you plug into the motherboard or the circutry is built into the motherboard itself. Most laptops, since they are short on space, have some form of video built into the motherboard. However I have heard of some of the newer laptops that are being built for gamers having some awesome graphics capabilities but I don't think they are in the form of what you would think of as a "video card". In the end as long as you have the capability what does it matter whether it's built into the motherboard or on a card?

As are a keyboard, mouse, printer or scanner.


Is it possible to run an AGP card with DDR ram on a motherboard that only supports sdram?

The Accellerated Graphics Port card uses memory completely separate from the motherboard memory. They don't mix. Make sure you use the memory that the AGP card nees in the AGP card, and memory that the motheroboard needs in the motherboard. If you do that, everything will be ok.
