I have an onboard graphics unit, Ati RADEON Xpress 200 SERIES, I want to know what I have to buy to UPGRADE my graphics, does It have to be another onboard? or is there a way around that, I'm guessing it would be really expensive for an onboard...Onboard generrally can't be replaced easily...laptop or Desktop ?Desktop, and since I can't upgrade it, could I just get a normal card, and install it, and if I do do that, how would I go about using the new graphics card instead of the onboard??It's a simple matter of installing the card physically...5 minutes...installing the neccessary drivers...2 minutes...and hooking the monitor up to the card.

Post your machine specs and budget and we can advise further.Windows XP HP Pavilion
1470 MB of RAM

and it uses PCI cards.

My budget is less than 75$, thanks in advance.Need model number to know what kind of expansion slots besides PCI.Hp Pavilion 061, I'm new at this, is that what you were asking for?
