Sony VPCL231FX Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard.
