Hey Guys I'm looking for a new Video Card.
But I'm a little Confused.
My cousin said his dad could Install the Video Card for me, But he said that I've got a in built Video Card.
I'm not sure if I do Or not.
I was going to ask If I do, What would I need to do toget a new Video card.
And How can I tell if its Inbuilt or not.
thank you

Hey and Welcome to TechIMO! 
The specs of the machine would be really helpful in this situation. Although it's somewhat uncommon, there are computers without a AGP slot or PCI-E slot on the motherboard, which would limit you to PCI graphics cards. But to be honest, if the computer is somewhat new, your on-board is probably better anyways.

Make n model number of the mobo....Then you or someone could search for it and see if happens to have an un-used video card slot. | |
