Video card vs On-board?

At the moment I have the on-board Intel Extreme Graphics running all my video processing, it does pretty well for itself actually. However I have this GeForce4 MX440 laying in my old, inoperative (but working) computer. I was wondering if its worth swapping that card into this computer to replace the on-board graphics?

    The onboard graphics would be better and GF4 MX440 is an old agp card it might not fit into your system if your running on PCI-E slots.

    nVidia GeForce4 MX440 cards used different voltages than are used today.

    Sell it on eBay, or give it away.

    Then, determine what Motherboard Make & Model you have, to see if you can even install a separate Video card, and types supported: AGP, PCIx, etc.

    The Belarc Advisor should ID your MoBo, free from:

    NONE. the two are crap, quite. integrated pictures are particularly no longer for many cutting-edge gaming, and any 256MB pictures card is previous form, previous, a dinosaur. would desire to you techniques telling us which integrated pictures vs which 256MB pictures card? Is the cardboard previous AGPx8 or PCI-e x16? If that integrated pictures is cutting-edge-day, cutting-edge Intel HD 3000 from an Intel center i5-2500K or i7-2600K processor with DDR3, it particularly is in all probability better suitable than any 256MB pictures card.
