How hard is it to change from an on board video to a video card? I am looking at a new system that has on board video. If I get it I will want to get a good card if i can put it on the M/B

Does it have an AGP slot? If not, dont buy it.

just slap the agp/pci card in the mobo. uhh... i'd guess u have to disable the onboard video either with a jumper or in the bios. just a guessing, as i never had a board with onboard video.
