The Dell 325D/333D fall in the catagory of on-board video.  There is a
jumper on the motherboard (called EVGA from memory - I may be wrong)
with disables the video circuit.

The onboard video is quite fast and shouldn't become "obsolete" any
time soon.  It supports the "Super VGA" modes and such.  Most
potential next generation standards seem likely to be like either the
8514/A or TMS-34010 bsaed cards, where you need a VGA around anyway...
