where is my phone located on my lab top

Not sure why you unmarked Prof Julie's replay as unanswered.

You asked in your original post "where is my phone located on my lab top and is it free". I am assuming that you are asking where the program "MyPhone" is located on your laptop ... is that correct?
If yes, then Prof Julies reply was correct when she said "My Phone is a free web based service and so no application is installed to a computer".

If that was not your question icathy, could you clarify your question?

It appears that you do not have a video card, the video system being integrated into the motherboard.

 

Yours is a chip on the motherboard. If you had an actual graphics card, the connection where you connect your monitor would be down in one of those looks like 7 horizontal slots - one of which you don't have a cover over.

 

So this means I cant change it? There is no way to change integrated for another integrated?

 

You can install a graphics card that will be used instead of the integrated video. If you provide system specs we could provide more details.

 

It probably is possible to fit one, bear a few things in mind though.

you may need a new power supply..
Some cards are really very good and work on the power the slot provides, but many don't, this may mean that you will need to upgrade your power supply

You will need to disable your on board card in the BIOS..
You may or may not know how to do this, may I suggest that if you don't know what you are doing that you get a knowledgable friends to help you, or take it into a suitable (and trustworthy) repair/upgrade shop, they will also be able to give you various options.

You will probably need to install the new card drivers..
This is perhaps what you will feel most at home with, if you get a experienced friend/shop to upgrade for you, they will normally do this for you.

Something like the NV 750/750Ti offer incredible value for money.
GeForce GTX 750 Ti PC-Gaming Graphics Card from NVIDIA

 

I was gonna try to swap graphics cards from one pc to another but I now I know its integrated :/


The other graphic card is named ; Intel HD Graphics Family

 

What is the reason you'd like to swap graphics cards?

 

To clarify things a little (?): the integrated graphics of that type are built in to the CPU.

You can add a discrete graphics card and use that instead. (That's common. Many current Intel CPUs have built-in graphics, but a lot of PCs add separate graphics cards to get better performance.)

The picture isn't good enough for me to be 100% sure, but I think that the black slot is a PCI-E X16 slot. (If you posted your system specs, I wouldn't have to guess.) That's the common interface used for most graphics cards that have been on the market for some time (maybe 10 years).

 

Yes, the long card slot nearest the CPU is either the older AGP or the newer PCIe-X16. Have seen motherboards with a PCIe-x1 in that position but still the longer will the PCIe-X16. There are a few motherboards available with 2 PCIe-X16 slots for 2 cards.

 

The black slot is usually PCI-E 16x. You can tell if you see only two sections, a small near the computer case and a large after (see picture below). AGP would have three sections, about the same size. Installing a discrete graphics card automatically disables the onboard graphics in most motherboards, so you don't need to go into BIOS to do it manually. In some motherboards you can keep the onboard enabled to use it for multi-monitor setup, the discrete card takes priority by default (is the one to give picture to the monitor during boot). OF course you will have to install new graphics drivers for your new card. Go directly at nVidia or AMD to get latest drivers. Do not rely on DVD-ROM or Windows Update.

 

I cant get a better quality picture ... The reason i was gonna try to swap becuz the Intel HD Grapics Card is lil better than the Intel G41

 

You cannot swap onboard graphics, but you can add a new PCI-E graphics card. There is no need to be something expensive, the entry level nVidia or AMD should be OK and faster than Intel.
