Problem is you need to have basic idea.
The Order of Cards from oldest to newest series is 8000, 9000, 200, 300, 400, 500
Then look for the 2nd number
From 1 - 4 its considered low end cards. Which are not really ment for gaming. Lowest for gaming would be a 4. [Remember I am talking about the 2nd number such as 240, 440, the 2nd number]

5 - 6 are considered mid range cards which are ok for gaming
7 8 9 are the best.

Same rules apply for ATI based on first and 2nd number.

So for example Say it says minimum requirements is a 8800 GT. Nvidia. Then if you have a 240 GT you can play. But if you have a 8600 you can't. But if you have a 210 you can't either because

8800 GT is a high end card 210 you can't pllay games on. 240 is still a low end card, but its the most basic card ment for gaming.

Its all a bit confusing I know

UPDATE:
Ohhh you have a inbuilt.... ya... sorry no hope.
Its like bragging you have a car, and you find out its like a Fiat Multipla [http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/a… Its been rated one of the worst cars of all time :P Just see the picture .Its just awsome.

Anyway ya its inbuilt meaning its touch and go. Most likely its go and hopeless. You can play basic games like Plants vrs Zombies, or Torchlight, That doesn't take advantage of Shaderss, Lighting, Bump mapping etc. But any game which does most likely won't work. Or you will have to play with all the settings off.
Never buy inbuilt cards they are curse on gaming :P
