Intel HD Graphics 3000 or Nvidia GeForce GT 525M

I'm looking to buy a new laptop. I do some gaming, but not a lot. Most of the games I have are pretty old - Civ 3 and age of empires 2 would be the ones getting most play. Starcraft and warcraft come out every so often. Will the integrated intel HD3000 graphics do the job, or is it worth opting for the GeForce card?

The HD3000 will be fine for fairly old games like that. Unless you are plannig on upgrading to Starcraft 2 at some point, the the intergrated graphics should do you fine
