Can I use this as an upgrade to the on-board graphics processor for a desktop?

I would not. I use it in as an additional screen to my main screen. It's great for text, but I wouldn't use it for video.

Yes you should be able to use another graphics card simotaneously with this one. If you aren't running more than a two screen setup this would be highly unnecessary. Unless you run animation/3D modeling editing software on both screens or simotaneously

That would be a "NO" If I read the specs right you are running PC-2700 and that in no way can be upgraded to what you want.

It should work, however, you may need to disable the graphics solution provided by the CPU via your motherboards BIOS.

Look up the wattage of the graphics card, but the answer should be "yes", if you don't have too much crazy stuff

Yes. The processor and graphics card work wonderful together. Make sure that your mother supports processors LGA 1150 and also has PCI ports (the majority of motherboards do).

yes... if the processor is lga775 you can use a core 2 duo or dual core processors with this board... i did it

No you can't upgrade the graphics card. you can only install the same graphics mainly for replacements.

Yes, you can definitely do that... but if you have to buy a motherboard, get a new model, this one is fairly outdated. So unless you have some legacy issue (like i did), i would recommend you to get a newer model

No, there is no onboard graphics. It will use the built in graphics on your CPU if your CPU has it.

Yes you can install a new graphics card. You will also need to upgrade the power supply to match the card. It isn't really a big deal though, power supplies are cheap. I totally recommend this computer, it is great. (There are 12 usb ports on this machine. Figure that into your opinion.)

It should definitely improve your graphics experience, but double check that your power supply can handle the new card. Also, is your current graphics handler integrated into the cpu or mobo?

Yes, you can replace the processor. And if you place high detailed games yes you should. Its graphic card rating is a 4.6 out of 10 it shows. Everything else is 7.5 to 8.5.

Yes you can. There is, however, a process. Your going to have to call ASUS, which is a hassle until you get to a department that can actually help you, and have them e-mail you a free shipping slip along with the RMA forms. You will be without your computer for 1-2 weeks and may have your system wiped clean. I suggest you do two upgrades and make your life a hell of a lot easier. The video card seems to have a huge issue with the wires coming off of the fan connectors and the power supply unit barely cuts it. Grab yourself a 430-500 watt (high rated!) PSU and a video card in your budget (save for a GTX 660 or something) and you will be happy as hell with your system. This ~$200 upgrade will turn your rig into a true powerhouse, without breaking the bank too much.

There shouldn't be any reason why not...that's a pretty hefty PS, no matter what you're running...your motherboard and video card are going to have more impact on which PS you get than your processor though...

I don't know the answer to that question. The PC meets my needs as is and I have never looked into possible upgrades. Sorry.

No, the FX processors have a different socket. And I'm not sure about the graphics card I don't see why it wouldn't work though.
