Default Two video cards??

Hi!

I currently have a computer with a graphic card integrated in its motherboard (ASUS P4S800-MX SIS661FX P4 HT FSB800 DDR400 AUDIO VIDEO LAN uATX). After a long analysis, I discovered that my graphic card is the "SIS661FX" which only have a video memory of maximum 64 Mbits.

I need a video card with at least 256 Mbits, so I'm looking for something like an ATI Radeon or a G-Force...
But I wonder if I my computer will accept this new video card without problems?
Will I have to take out my current video card from my motherboard?
Do I have to change my motherboard?

In other words: what are the changes I would have to do if I bought a new video card?

I thank you in advance for your answers, whoever answers!

alright i found your motherboard. it supports AGP 8x graphics cards, which are rare nowadays. i can find one for you. but first, what are you planning to do with it? you going to play games? also, what speed is your processor. i might be able to find a faster one that could help with games

My video card will be used mainly for playing games

My processor is a pentium 4 with 3Ghz. It is not really the cause of my problems. In fact the only problem I have is the tiny 64 Mbits of video memory I have...

Thank you for trying to help me!
