Can I upgrade my PC? (Integrated GFX card)?

Q: I've been told that I can't upgrade my PC with a new GFX card due to my current one being integrated, however I went to All4Memory.com and they recommend this http://www.4allmemory.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=search.memorySearch4&model_id=62970 Which confuses me since I know I can't upgrade my PC. Can someone explain this to me?

A: Just because your motherboard uses an integrated graphics does not mean you can't upgrade to a graphics card. Your motherboard should have a slot where the gfx card goes (AGP, PCI-E) depending on its age. What you will need to do is: 1.) Find out what slot your mobo has 2.) Buy the card you want that is also compatible w/ that slot. 3.) Insert the card 4.) Delete the integrated gfx driver. 5.) restart the computer 6.) install the new gfx driver and your done. Upgraded graphics. However, if you choose to do this, you will have something else to worry about. Ask yourself this question "Can my power supply reliably power my new gfx card?"
