It would be helpful to everybody, including yourself, to say what
machine, and which VGA card, you are talking about.

You probably have a PS/2 model 30 of some sort, in which case the MCGA
adaptor is built in. Additional functionality can probably be added
via an expansion card. The IBM 8513 etc are analogue monitors, not
digital so you probably wouldnt have to replacec that (cos VGA is an
anallogue adaptor).
