onboard video means the videocard is part of the motherboard & can't be upgraded. check on the motherboard for a brown slot about the same length as the white pci slots but set back a bit further from the case back & close to the cpu. look on the motherboard for some writing as to make & model of the motherboard. look at the user guide or motherboard manual to see if an agp slot is available.

intel pentium 4 1 .5 ghz
graphics video card direct x 8 geforce 4 with v ram 64 mbs or more
main memory 256 or more
