    Do you have two VGA sockets at the back of your computer? (The ones the monitor goes into). If yes then you have one, and a graphics card. Make sure you are using the graphics card plug!

    If you have only one, go to start > run > dxdiag > display and tell us the reported graphics card. I think that will be the easiest way. You can use http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4181.html to get a detailed report on your computer.

    If the blue plug that the monitor goes in is in one of the expansion slots, you have a card. If it is near the plkugs for the keyboard, USB ports, etc. on the back you have integrated graphics.

    You could also post the computer or motherboard make and model.

    Or check in Device Manager under Display and see what is there.

      I'm fairly certain that's an integrated graphics card... or at least that's what the monitor is plugged into. I don't understand your last sentance. Unless you have two monitor plugs, you have integrated only.

      I'm curious, why do you ask?

      an Intel 810 is positively an integrated chip.

      Thank you.
      And the link from jflan . . . not all that helpful, it's not immediately obvious whether it is integrated or not.
      And now I'm curious too . . . Schlynn, why do you ask?
