go out and buy one (if u haven't already) do some research on what card to get tho otherwise u mite get one that won't work on games you wnat to play.

to install it you need to open up your case, out it in the agp slot (if its an agp graphics card) the computer should reconize that u have a new card and run off that one. once windows has loaded and everything u may have to install some drivers which should come with the card normally on a  cd. once you have your graphics workin and everything. restart your computer and go onto bios, once in there u will be able to disable the on board graphics card so that it doesn't take up any of your ram. however u may want to leave it enabled incase u have any problems with the new card
