It won't conflict the onboard motherboard graphics - just check whether the slot is PCI, AGP, or PCI-Express - the graphics card needs to match.

Graphics ram is separate from system ram. Gaming video ram should be 256MB to 512MB. Go to--Pricewatch.com-- they have a lot of video cards at good prices. Make sure you get the right kind for your pc--AGP, PCI, PCI express.

There is no problem if you add a video card. Just plug the monitor into the video card instead of the monitor and ensure that you have all of the drivers installed. It will work fine.
