Integrated cards cause lots of problems because they run off of your system RAM instead of having seperate RAM for the card (at least the one's I've had experience with), which, if your RAM is on the low side, will cause problems with choppiness and lag. It will probably be most evident when switching area's as you'll have to wait for the computer to render everything (which makes keeping up with friends with faster PC's harder), the next problem area would be when there are large numbers of monsters on the screen, heck in SoU in a certain cave with kobolds my comp lags and it blows the specs out of the water, I'd hate to see it on a computer below specs, especially video (especially especially on-board video cards)
