Graphics cards always help your gameplay... I remember when I made the jump from a Nvidia 4500 to a Nvidia 8800GTx... I was like O.O

Sometimes, we just need to remember what the rules of life really are: You only
need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the
WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

Integrated graphics won't qualify as a videocard I guess..

Laptops are always slower than comparable desktops. And the graphics mobile chipset can be 40-50% slower than a non-mobile chipset of the same numbering. It's all done because heat and powersaving are problems in laptops which lead to lower operating speeds.
