Dell Dimension 2200 Video Card
Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Integrated display adapters are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
