Usually they are soldered to the MB. If you have an open slot (PCI or
ISA/EISA), you might just get a add-on video card and use it in place of the
onboard video. Not familiar with your model, so I don't know which would
apply, but the onboard video would need to be disabled. From past
experience and reading on PCs in general here are the options.
1. System has auto-detect and will detect a video card and automatically
default to the add-on card.
2. MB has a jumper you can set to use either onboard video or the add-on
card.
3. You set the video via the control panel, selecting either the onboard
video or the add on card.
4. You go into the BIOS and disable the onboard video and the MB will
detect and use the add-on card.
Hope that helps a little.
