    Onboard Graphic card with 4GB RAM or PCI Express on MOBO MSI G31M?

    Hi I am using WIndows XP Prof. SP2 on My Machine and I
    would like to know if i should install a PCI Express or On board Graphics card will do the job. My System Configiration:

    MOBO: MSI G31M
    Processor: Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs)
    Memory: 2GB
    DVMT in BIOs gives options, 128 or 256 or Maximum to choose from.

    HDD: 250Gb
    MOnitor: SAMSUNG 943NWX (19" wide screen LCD)

    Sound Card: Realtek on board (also have Creative Sound Blaste Live that i purchased in 2004)

    Is there any on board graphic card on MSI G31M Mother Board?

    I also have nVIDIA XFX GeForce 6200 256MB DDR TurboCache PCI Express x16 Video Card ( DVI VGA S-Video ) with me. what should i go with onboard graphics or this particular PCI Express Graphics card.

    Or Should i make my RAM 4GB and go with on board graphic Card, as DVMT in BIOs gives options, 128 or 256 or Maximum to choose from?

    I don't have any idea which to option to choose or wether instaling 2 more GBs of RAM while using onboard RAM is good idea or not?

    Need quick Reply
