That's your video. It's built-in (integrated) to the motherboard. Try it out, or read some online reviews. It might be good enough for your purposes.



"* 1 x PCI Express x16 slot,"



If you don't like the integrated graphics, this expansion slot will let you install a different video card.



Sounds like a nice machine, if the price is right.|||NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE is an onboard chip not a card.\



I would disable the onboard graphics and upgrade to a good PCI-Express card.|||press start button open run and then type cmd.. after type dxdiag and press enter.. it will give you ALL the pc specifications. The computer its ok..|||Your monitor would be plugged into it|||You poor thing, a computer must have a video card in order to work. RAM good, CPU not too bad, GPU terrible.|||The GeForce 6150 SE indicates you have "on board" graphics...its not a "card"...You do, however, have a PCIe x16 slot designed to take a Graphics "card". Its important to note what power supply you have and what the recommended wattage of power the video card you pick needs. you may have to upgrade your power supply also.
