This is correct, and is a common issue with many games.
Laptops weren't really designed for gaming, but if your in the market for an expensive gaming laptop some come with proper Nvidia or Ati graphics but don't expect a laptop under $2000 to keep up with new release games. You might be lucky with some games which runs on crappier systems.

So is there any hope I could play driver 3 with that video card?
If not could you recommend a video card i could buy maybe one of the geforce series?
What Nick said also applies.

Laptops cannot be ungraded because they use onboard video (the graphics controller is built into the mainboard to save space), a component of the motherboard which is really annoying because some onboard graphic components blow-up and you have to replace the motherboard of the laptop which almost costs as much as the laptop in most cases.

driv3r will run under the specifications specified on the side if it's ram or cpu speed. But unfortunately there is no exception to video controllers. Overall your laptop is pretty good but many games don't support Intel Graphic Chipsets. Which works perfectly for business applications like office
.
I'm sorry we cannot come to a proper resolution.
But this is how things are in the laptop gaming world.
If your eager to try this game out, I'd suggest going to a mates or gf's place and try it on their machine unless you have a desktop pc you can try it on.
