I have a HP media Center M7640N Desktop. Is it any harder because everything is integrated or can I just pull it right out and plug in a better Geforce card?

The Media Center M7640N has a PCI-e slot that you can buy a Pci-e video card and plug right in, you can either go into the BIOS and disable onboard video or leave it on for Mulit (tri) monitor support.

It's integrated so you can't pull it out. You have to disable it before installing your new card. Contact HP for instructions on how to disable your integrated card. With some computers you disable it in the device manager, others must be disabled in the BIOS. The most difficult ones are where you have to set a jumper on your motherboard to disable it. That is why you want to contact HP first.

I would disable the on-board card from the bias.
I have done a similar upgrade. It didn't work until I disabled the integrated hardware.
It was complaining about some kind of "Resource conflict"

you've a thoroughly tremendous gaming gadget there, I advise one which could make truly some sport enthusiasts jealous, save for one element: Your video output. you want a video card, and because you've one of those tremendous and probably intense priced rig there, i'd advise between the intense end nVidia's, any of the 7900 line. one element notwithstanding, i'm positive you idea you protected each thing, yet in truth you left one element out, means grant score. you want a large means grant to run the intense end video playing cards, yet judging by the specs on your equipment if in case you've a reliable one.

unless your the man at soldering and electirical paths and current control... I would just buy a video card and plug it into your video slot ( if you have one) or if you dont' have a video slot get a pci card... good luck...
be sure to turn off on board video in bios once you have upgraded... will prevent headaches...

If its integrated (which means it part of the motherboard), you aren't going to pull it out . . .
You can turn it off in Hardware and use a PCI card . . .
