Answer 2

You can install a 256MB graphics adapter. Use the VGA port on the card, make sure the card is a AGP expansion slot style card. (8X= 8 lanes)

Answer 3

yes just make sure the video card says AGP and not PCI or PCI-E. VGA is just a connection type. Mostly Blue In color. then there is DVI which is White in color. But video cards come with adapters so dont worry about this. Its just DVI has better quality.
