Greetings Carol & list--

From what I was able to find out about the motherboard from www.motherboards.org, it appears that you will also have to invest in an
AGP graphics (video) card. No mention is made of integrated video, though
I infer there is none by virtue of the fact it is not mentioned and the board
incorporates "External video" of AGP 8x/4x.

I would also recommend a higher wattage power supply.

HTH.
