I recently built a media pc and got bunches of old pc parts, after choosing the better parts for the media pc i was left over with a mobo, some ram, two cpu's, and a graphics card. I can id everything but the graphics card, does anyone know what it is and if so would i be better using it or integrated graphics?

Could be, I could only use the PN from the fan. Either way it would be better than an integrated solution depending on what kind of integrated video is being used. Since the pc is using old parts I'd guess the card would be better.
I have a HTPC with a core i3 and Intel HD 4400 and that is plenty.

Now that I think about it depends on what you are hooking up to it and what connection options you have. If your tv/monitor doesn't have S-Video or DVI input then you might not want to bother anyway and buy something with outputs that match your inputs. DVI is good, not sure if there are resolution limits to S-Video though. Worse case is to buy a converter which is hit or miss on quality.

I have a monitor, and I think s-video does have resolution limits. All I would ever really use it for is lan party's, of old games.

The other port is DMS-59 which is made to be split into two vga or dvi ports.
