So guys, im a bit worried right now. I want to buy a GeForce 6200 (OEM) on ebay for $20, BUT it only has DVI on it, no other adapters/expansions come with it, just the card itself. The Monitor I am using is VGA.

I was wondering if I could still install the card in my computer, but have the monitor connected to my motherboard, since the card does not have a VGA slot.

Would I still get the graphics, or would the graphics be coming off of my integrated ones on the motherboard?
 
It has to be connected to your video card itself. Just buy a DVI -> VGA converter. You can get one for about $1-$5.
 
Forgot to tell you guys, this thread is old :P I figured it out on my own and ended up buying an ATI Radeon X1300, better performance than 6200...
