As so many people have already indicated, a video card and a graphics card are, essentially, the same thing.
What I would point out is that the latest incarnation of video card is the PCI-e and not PCI-X as indicated by some of our other friends. Take a look at the following page for a better description.

Just a quick note AGP cards are now generally more expensive than the same Pci-X model. AGP are being phased out, there will be no AGP DX10 compatible cards coming out. In about 6 months some DX10 games will be available that will only run on Vista and DX10 compatible cards, so AGP users will not be able to appreciate the new graphic models.
When AGP and PCI-X model are the same the PCI-X model usually gives the better performance due to the speed of the interface.

A video card, (also referred to as a graphics accelerator card, display adapter, graphics card, and numerous other terms), is an item of personal computer hardware whose function is to generate and output images to a display.
The term is usually used to refer to a separate, dedicated expansion card that is plugged into a slot on the computer's motherboard, as opposed to a graphics controller integrated into the motherboard chipset.
Some video cards had offered added functionalities such as video capture, TV tuner adapter, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 decoding or even FireWire, mouse, light pen or joystick connectors.
Video cards are not used exclusively in PCs; they were used in multiple devices such as Commodore Amiga (connected by the slots Zorro II and Zorro III), Apple II, Apple Macintosh, Spectravideo SVI-328, MSX and, obviously, in video game consoles.

definite, "video card" and "pictures card" propose an same ingredient. they don't seem difficult to position in, take per chance 5 minutes and a screwdriver. The time period "video adapter" and "pictures adapter" also talk with an same ingredient, no matter if technically once you observe the be conscious adapter, it *could* propose a outfitted-in motherboard port, no longer inevitably a standalone card that matches right into a slot. i could propose checking the comments in the previous you leap off the Vista improve cliff- maximum machines with lower than 2gb of RAM run extra valuable lower than XP.

yes but there is little bit of detail to that
these two are same
but
VGA, AGP and PCX (pc express) are not although they are all graphic cards
VGA is the cheapest, agp is the best price to quality deal and pcx is the best quality
personally, for an average user I'll prefer a 128 ~ 256MB agp
but if u are thinking of buying PS3 or xbox but are not ready to shove that much money
go for a pcx,
