Just hang on a sec. I think you may have an integrated video chipset i.e. it's built onto the motherboard, rather than being on a separate card. If that's the case, then before you go and buy a graphics card, you must find out whether you motherboard has a) an AGP slot or if not, b) whether you have a spare PCI slot to take a separate graphics card.

If you have kept any of the documentation that came with the PC, that would be a good place to start.

Hope this helps.
