If there's an AGP or PCI or PCI express slot on your motherboard you should be able to.

currently i am using an onboard video card for my computer but i want to get a new video card so i can get S-Video on my TV. And theres 2 PCI slots (very old mobo). So just wondering do i have to disable the onboard video manually or i can just plug the new vid card in the mobo and it will work?

Without knowing the system some you disable in the BIOS, or their is a jumper on the board to disable onboard graphics and a few need disabling in Device Manager.

Any computer can add a GFX... just as long as you have an expansion slot that's empty.
