Right click on desktop and go to Properties and look at the controller. Intel or nVidia or ATI.Goole it and presto! Fastest - could download,sisandr or check the spec using the stickies.

why do you need to find out if it is integrated?

because i need to get a better graphics for the laptop, the one i have is only 32mb.I thought if the graphics card was integrated it couldn't be changed,

in most cases you cannot change the graphics chips on laptops, though alienware are offering the ability to slot in a new graphics chips on some of their more expensive laptops.

there are tutorials there about upgrading some dell laptops with new graphics chips, on his parts list it appears you can get new graphics chips for the inspiron 5160 but he doesnt sell these parts.
