A: Grpahics card n video cards are two names for the same thing. to find out what brand your using open up system information (in accesoris under systme tools) and it shoudl tell you form there, should be ATI, Nvidia, or Intel. Nvidia nad ATI are decdicated grpahics card, if you have an intel intergrated chipset then you aret using a grpahics card. to imporve perofmarmnce you cna get drivers form the graphics card website. in my experince Dell desktop that odnt have a grpahics card genrally dont have hte slot to add one.
