Ok, i have two computers, one for gaming, one for my family. The new computer i bought is for the family and has a NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE Graphics video card. It has built in Windows Vista Home Premium which sucks because none of the games work on it but they do work on the old one computer. The old computer can run the games but the framerates per second are horrible and the games are very slow. The old computer has an Intel(R) 828245 G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics controller. Now I am wondering if i can take the NVIDIA card out of the new computer and the other graphic controller out of the old computer, put the NVIDIA card into the old gaming computer and the old graphics controller into the new computer. Will this work for both computers and will my gaming experience be better with the better video card? Please answer. Thanks.

It depends.
The newer computer might have a PCI Express video card slot, while the old one might be AGP based. If the older computer is more than a couple years old, that's likely to be the case. If you bought it in 2007 or 2008, you'll have better luck.
If they're both PCI Express, you should be able to do what you want. The only question is if there are Vista drivers for the Intel card.

No. they are both integrated chipsets. You cant remove them as they are built into the motherboard..
