Lenovo ThinkCentre 3149 Video Card
Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated video cards are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. 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. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results.
