Thanks. Yeah, onboard GPUs are a no-no. My laptop has a GeForce 8700M GT in it and that runs HLSL beautifully, but after a while it begins to stutter. That's probably due to thermal throttling, or due to the meager 512 MB of RAM being used up. With my pending build, cooling won't be an issue. I'll likely be looking into a card with a good amount of RAM on it as I too was thinking that might be more critical. (Since the card has to scale the image to a large size, and therefore needs a lot of RAM to hold all the data).
