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.

If there are no graphics cards in the computer, it should be using the integrated graphics if you plug the monitor into the PC.
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
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card slot for the AGP graphics cards (the card with the ports you plug the monitor into), and like PCI and PCI-X, was superceded by PCI-Express around 2004.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
Look for where you plug in your monitor after opening the case. You'll see 1 of 2 things. 1. Either a large card plugged into a slot perpendicular to the motherboard 2. A cable running from the port you plug the monitor in that connects directly to the motherboard (if this is the case you have what is called an "integrated graphics processor")
Just about any monitor with a VGA plug. Few Gateway machines have DVI outputs (unless you have added a custom graphics card) so your best bet is to stick with standard VGA.
Yes, you can. The motherboard is equipped with a PCI-e port so you can plug in a graphics card.
1. to display your image to your monitor 2. to provide outlets from your hard-drive so you can plug in your monitor3. increase quality depending on the quality of your video cardNOTE: a video card is the same thing as a graphics card
Maybe yes, maybe no. Depends on if there's a compatible port on the computer in which to plug the monitor in, the graphics card that's installed and the type of monitor may or may not be compatible with an older OS. But chances are that yes, you probably would be able to get some basic working functionality out of it.

In order to enable the dual monitor video card you simply have to plug in two monitors into the adapter. It is an extremely cool feature!
It does not make a difference, the thing that allows games to run and work is a graphics card which is located either in the bottom of a laptop or inside a computers harddrive. If you want improve the performance of games you can get external (plug-in) graphics cards for around $60-$300!
plug the vga/HDMI cable into it and if you get a picture on the monitor it works
