Rob, it depends on the video card; there are both AGP
and PCI versions available. The AGP versions are faster;
mine is a flashed Nvidia GeForce 6200 AGP that I bought 
from an eBay vendor for $85, and which works fine. 
Yes, you remove the old video card, and replace it with
the new one. Check to make sure that the card you choose
will support your display's interface, VGA, DVI, HDMI,
or S-Video. Also, be sure that it will support dual 
monitors if you want that capability, and that with 
the correct connectors. You can usually adapt between
VGA and DVI, but HDMI is more difficult.
