How much difference does a video card with onboard memory have vs. a video card that shares the system memory?
Specifically regarding day to day activities like casually surfing the internet? Is the higher performance of the video card “kick in” when needed or because of the memory, is the higher performance constant?

The difference is that you use dedicated VRAM instead of system RAM. You will probably not notice any difference in the senario you describe.

Minor difference.
An integrated graphics will share system memory. As opposed to a dedicated graphics card that will have memory on its own, and freeing up system memory, thus making web surfing a bit more faster, even tho u probably wont notice it.
Youll need a graphics card if your into watching lots of DVD’s, video editing, gaming, designing, picture/photo editing and any other app that requires graphics.
