I have a PC with an integrated graphics card taking up one of my PCI-E slots. Can it be removed?

Question

I thought it couldn't seeing as its integrated. Also, if it can be removed, is it more likely to take up a PCI-E*1 or a PCI-E*16 slot?

Answer 1

lol @ this question  

Answer 2

I think you are mixing a few things up.

First of all, intergrated graphics can use a PCI-E bus. That doesn't  mean it's using the PCI-E slot.

Also, PCI-E x16 is different from PCI-E x1.

the x16 is for graphics and the x1 is for add in cards, like sata controllers, newer sound cards, tv tuners, etc.  

Answer 3

If it's integrated then it isn't taking up a PCI-e slot. Don't remove it unless you are putting another video card in that slot.
