Integrated graphics - means its on a chip soldered to the board. That does not mean you are fucked. If you have a AGP slot or new PCI express slot then you can add a graphics card to your system.

PCI Express is very knew, so i will assume you do not have this. Unless you bought a cheap Dell PC then chances are you will have an AGP slot. I'm not sure if its possible to tell if you have an AGP slot via windows. There is probably something in the Bios. But if if you have easy access to your motherboard, then the AGP slot sits next to (above) the PCI slots but is shorter in length (and normally the slot is a different colour as well).
