For starters, it's Dimension, not deminsion. And unless you have an actual video card installed, there is no card to remove. The graphics are built into the motherboard.

Don't double post....when you do, one or both get deleted (which is what just happened).

Look at the back of the PC to see where the monitor connects & look at the following pic. If your monitor plugs into the area where the red arrow is pointing, you have onboard graphics.

You can't. The video on the 5100's in onboard.
