Graphics Card Question

[costello]

As a college student, I am shopping for a new computer. Since I am on a tight budget, I am considering getting one with integrated graphics (although not recommended, I know).

 

My question is this: If I get one with integrated graphics, could I not install my own AGP video card later? Someone told me you couldn't install your own if the computer already has its video integrated into the motherboard.

Yes, you will be able to install your own AGP video card at a later date if the motherboard has an AGP slot.

Thanks for your help.

Generally there is a jumper on the motherboard

to disable the on board graphics display.

Or a BIOS setting.
