Not all mobos have on-board graphics.

VERY IMPORTANT - READ THIS

Also not ALL motherboard have an AGP slot (or PCI Express). Some have onboard graphics and no AGP slot, therefore hosing your plans of upgrading to a kick ass graphics card. I have made the mistake of not checking and have ended up with a few of these before - luckily they were business machines and they arent going to ever upgrade them anyways.......

Using onboard graphics till you get a decent card is a good plan, just dont plan on much gaming - onboard blows goats.
