Welcome vipin2510, your manual should be able to tell you that, but, if you don't find it and/or lost in... Google is your friend.

If you haven't touch the computer, and according to the specs, you should have an Integrated Graphics Card (On board) with 225 MB of allocated RAM

Intergrated is something that is in-built into the motherboard (mainboard) while Graphic cards is in-plugged extra modules which enhanches the graphics. Graphic cards is much better then intergrated ones

Integrated usually is equal to:

Cheapo

Bargain Bin

Not good enough for Games

NOw, it does not mean that it can not handle the rigorous jobs of Browsing the Internet, checking your E-mails and running a few apps at the same time. We just need to learn and know what we need the PC the most for.
