Some video cards support TV-out via the VGA port. I don't know if that is the case here, but my Dell Inspiron 1420 has an X3100 and it has a little port on the side for TV-out. There's a special dongle you're supposed to put in there so you can plug in the standard component or composite (RCA) cables--this is what I have tried, and it works. I suppose an S-Video cable would fit right in--this I have never tried.
If you have a dedicated type of video card, then it is not a chipset problem. It's a video card feature to have pixel sharer support. Check support website for information and detailed information about your video card and for fresh drivers. Also free software SiSoft Sandra can give you a lot of usuful information about your hardware including shader support.
All Dell lists on their website is that it has an Intel HD Graphics Card.
AGP Video card AGP retention mechanism = AGP Video expansion card
It is made up of the video card and monitor.
A hard drive does not have a compatible video card. They don't interact.
DirectX 10.1 supports all DirectX 10.0 card, including the GMA X3100. However, DX 10.1 introduces new features that are not supported in the GMA X3100. Even NVIDIA hasn't released a card that uses 10.1 features yet.

No, it does not. Intel x3100 GMA is for simple use of video memory. Maya uses exhausting graphics memory which should be dedicated and X3100 comes with 0mb of Dedicated graphics/video memory. You will able to run Maya though, but the rendering time and working over projects will be infuriating because of the incapabilities of Intel X3100 GMA. I ran both 3ds Max 9 and Latest edition of Maya Unlimited, Maya refused to render my character to highest details because of inavailability of compatible graphic card. And the rendering time of single wall picture with few maps and transparency effects took a hell lot of time, so many times my computer would go 'Not Responding' state and I had to lose so much time and often my computer would crash due to the hell 'GMA'. I advice you to try ATI and If money is not a concern then I strongly recommend you to head for Nvidia 9800 or Nvidia GTx 280 OC (If you can wait then GTX 295 is going to launch in January, it is way better than ATI 4870X2). I don't wish to trouble you with this Intel X3100 GMA as it did to me. Check this out -http://www. lnk.in/intelx3100 . A whole 1 year disastrous experience with this card.
tha acer 4736 does not HAVE a video card. it has an integrated video chipset made by intel, and no, it cannot be replaced.
You will have purchase NVidia video card and install it in your computer. But be careful make sure that your computer supports upgrade you are about to do. Modern video cards require at least PCI-E x16 port. As result not all computers even new support video upgrade from onboard video to dedicated video card.
No.
An update for a program to fix issues with NVIDIA cards will not have any effect with Intel graphics. You cannot use NVIDIA-specific programs on your Intel card.
Eh, Dude!! Go with Nvidia 8400m as there is no need to think over it. If you really wanna know why am I saying this then click the link below. It is my whole year experience with Intel X3100 : http://lnk.in/X3100 {if you can't click then paste the code in address bar}.
yeah if you can afford it
