No cause you wouldn't have anything to display the picture on screen. Thats basicly what the graphics card is for, then they started adding features that supported Directx and other renders like D3D or OpenGL.You do get on-board graphics cards that you can enable in the bios but you need to be able to see what your doing to be able to access the bios (Unless your an ultimate geek and have the bios screen memorized off by heart)
