Intel S5400SF Video Card
There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a separate video card, in general. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed. Dedicated video cards are required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
Subtle cues of an unhealthy video graphics card
- The graphics on your screen shows weird colors or images
- The PC reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not come on when starting the computer
- The driver cannot install properly

A Intel S5400SF video card is going to be better brand new due to possible wear on an older one. The Intel server will thank you for buying smart. Try to always order parts from a reputable seller when you buy online. It is always best to make note of the OEM part number so you order the correct video card replacement.
