Do barebone computer kits or motherboards include integrated video cards?

I was wondering if they required you to buy a separate video card or not. I always see regular new computers with integrated cards on the motherboard, but never on the do-it-your-self kits.

I don`t understand if this kit includes a video card, or not.

this motherboard has NO integrated video card. you can tell by the holes on the side of the motherboard

this one has a video card on it because it has a VGA port on the side.
Reply:Since the info does not include an onboard video. I would think it does not. When I have bought bare bones I go by what the info says it has and this one does not say onboard video.
Reply:Some have integrated video, some don't.





According to the motherboard manufacturer's website ( http://www.machspeed.com/specs/viper/MSN... ) this model doesn't have integrated video -- so a seperate video card would be necessary.
