Ok, I'm looking into buying a new graphics card to play some of the latest games (BF3, D3). I can't play either of them as I have this graphics card.(Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family)

Now I'm looking into buying a ATI Radeon HD3450 but I'm not sure if my computer can support it.

I need to know if my computer can have another grapics card added to it, as I read that mine cannot be taken out.

I would really appreciate any help on this matter.
Thanks in advance.

I presume you have a laptop as you have the mobile version of Intel graphics?

If that is the case then you can't add a grahpics card to a laptop.

If it's a PC then you can as long as you have a free PCI slot and your PSU can supply enough power.
