|||Assuming you have a desktop (since you didn't say) I'll go out on a limb and assume you have a PCI-E slot. The GPU you described is an onboard one.



So, if you want to upgrade your video, you are going to have to purchase an actual Video card.



I'd suggest a nice NVidia 9600gt. Great performance, for about $100, at http://www.newegg.com but of course, I would double check on exactly what kind of expansion slots you have.|||You can't upgrade video card|||you have to get one that suits the slots in your computer as there is a couple different types.



also consider getting one that can drive two screens.



also you need to know what you want to do with your puter.



when you got that worked out post another question to ask for the best choice|||Ask a professional for help.|||I believe your computer is a desktop? since it's a triple core. You can't necessarily upgrade your video card. You can buy a new one though (video cards are chips that you insert into a computer tower). You might want to check your computer's power supply before you buy one; most video cards will need 350-400 watt+. You can't take out your current video card because it's integrated, but your computer should have a PCI-E slot (inside the tower) for a video card.
