MB is not the only determining factor as far as if you need to replace your video card or not.
I have a 128mb Nvidia 6800 that absolutely destroys the Nvidia 5500 256mb card in all benchmarks.
The bottom line is, if the games you want to play do not run well with your current video card, then it is time to upgrade.

is your computer a prebuilt computer? (Dell, HP, gateway, etc) If so, look for the computers model number, and look it up online, then youll be able to see what video card it should have in it.
if not, might want to try the Belarc Advisor (google it), it tells you a lot of info about your comp hardware.

Right click on the desktop -> Properties -> Settings and it will tell you what you running. Then just look up the exact name.
