Yeah, onboard video is not the way to go!

However being 6 years old, SHIII is not terribly demanding on graphics, so you're not going to have trouble if you get an even halfway-recent nvidia or ATI card. Something like a GeForce 240 might be good for you price-wise and will do all SHIII needs.

Keep in mind that the bigger limiting factor is likely to be your processor. e.g. I can guarantee that perky's experience with harbor traffic bogging down the game is not a graphics issue but one to do with processor speed.
