If you are entitled of having no graphic card installed, you can may as well, install a GeForce or an ATI Graphics card, it doesn't really matter.

All motherboards (well, maybe except for the deathly old ones) can accept NVIDIA (GeForce series included) or ATI cards, although they might not have the correct interface the graphics card to work. Check the motherboard specifications on whether you have a PCI-express slot, an AGP slot, or something worse (like regular PCI).

IF they dont have a PCI-E 16x they cant have a graphics card...

Not at all true.

Check your motherboard.
Call the company or look on the web.

As long as it has a PCI-e 16x slot, you can put any PCI-e graphics card in it, be it nVidia or ATi. That of course is assuming your PSU can handle it, which most PSU's on OEM machines are just barely enough for the stock configuration, so plan to buy a new PSU as well.

Depends, becuase I bought a gateway...
just for like $100 from my uncle... new made in 2007 or someshit..

Had a 500w PSU and he never opened the case so.

I dont see what that has to do with having a good graphics card Smile

Newer, nicer cards require power...
Like Tri-Sli [3 vid cards as 1] takes a big PSU to do it...
