Of course you can, but I wouldn't bother with any graphics benchmarks :p

with only 64mb on board video you would barely break into the 1000's, time to upgrade video, do you have an AGP slot, small white slot set away from the back of the case usually closer to the processor than the larger, green PCI slots if so this is a pretty good deal to gett you up to snuff (http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.asp?imodule=CTV9100128A5&cat=Video%20Card)

Gee, I have a 64Mb Video card, and I get scores in the 5000 to 7000 range. In fact, I get higher scores than the same video card with 128MB(due to the 128Mb memory being slower than the memory used in the 64Mb version).
It isn't the amount of memory, techNONguru, its the type, and the type of integrated video as well. Integrated video uses main memory. Even if it had dedicated memory, its integrated video, it would still be slow. It's not like it's an nforce2, which still has something there to work with even though it is integrated.

In my system the PCI slots are white, and the AGP slot is brown. The colors I have are the default.
@chriswhitelaw: There are still PCI graphics cards available.

I was thinking about getting the nvidia fx5200 pci card.
