Can a desktop computer with a built-in video card have the video card replaced?

I'm new to video cards. I have this computer http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/docum… and wish o replace the video card but it is built in the the mainframe...|||you can't replace the video cards because it part of Motherboard, but you can add Accessories

like video cards and sound cards.



maybe this can help.



http://www.popularmechanics.com/technolo…|||Does your motherboard have an empty expansion slot?|||If you have an available, PCI-E, AGP, or PCI slot..yes. You put the new card in that slot and plug your monitor(s) into the new card.|||you have to like disable the on board...on the motherboard video thing and install the video card drivers and power down everything and install the video card and boot up and hope your power supply can handle the new video card

if the monitor blacks out then uninstall the new video card

it is a nightmare|||When it comes to PC graphic cards, I prefer having a graphic card in a PCI-express port or AGP port. It takes stress away from the CPU. The graphic cards have a GPU onboard rather than a CPU. Your motherboard CPU has to process additional information when there is graphics built onboard.|||Install new card in a proper slot on the MoBo.

Plug monitor onto the new card.

Install the new driver (should come with the new card).

Reboot.



The new card takes precedence over the on-board junk.



(MY rule of thumb is, NO shared anything, PERIOD).
