Compaq AlphaServer DS10 Video Card
Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. A video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking.
General warnings of a poorly performing video graphics card

- Your Compaq freezes when beginning a game
- The screen does not always show up as you boot the PC
