Hi I'm James Adams I'm here on behalf of expertvillage.com and now we are going to precede to identify what kind of video card you currently have and then we would determine what kind of upgrades you can put in your machine. If you connect your monitor up here in this panel section where the keyboard and mouse goes you got inter graded video. Thats is pretty lame video I mean it is not good enough for games but it would do emails and stuff. But, if your connection monitor down here that means you have a separate video card you have a independent video card and your options are upgrade are greater. One thing to notice is sometimes you have this kind of connector that goes right there that converts it so you could put the universal D cable that goes right there. So now the best way to determining exactly what you have is to open the case because there is different kinds of independent video cards. So there is PCI option, there is PCI express and there is AGP. So now the easiest way to do this I found is to just open the computer and look at it.
