if your computer has an agp or pci-e slot, you're better off just getting a newer graphics card, an old card is not going to be any better than the integrated you have now. I'd venture to say that even a pci video card would be a better option

That graphics card is quite old, I suggest you try and get a better one or just upgrade the computer entirely.

If the onboard card is doing what it needs to do for you then I say just use that.
