don't expect good speed on that integrated GPU
it is design for browsing and multimedia uses(e.g.DVD movie,AVIs,) only
eXtreme gaming is impossible

O.O Wow. No card at all? I knew something was funny when I went to look and it said Intel..
Hmm. Well that poses a new question. What would a good video card for my current setup be to buy?
Or can I even do that? Lol. I know naught.
I feel so angry at myself for purchasing this laptop without researching it enough.
I am new to laptops and am having trouble finding information on laptop video cards, where to purchase them, and where to have them installed.
Anymore light shed on this matter will help.
Thank you!

An E Series.
I also changed the resolution to what Fezzer told me to, and it worked significantly faster, but crashed once I entered the first level of the sewers. While I could play that level before changing the native resolution, only twice as slow.

Well I've heard that the sewers in FFXII are gpu-intensive and will make things difficult for your IGP generally, well many of the E-series, whether 13,15 or 17" have discrete ATIs it seems so you "Should" be able to buy a discrete GPU but DEFO check with somebody who knows more about hardware than me.

it shouldn't be a shock to you that you bought laptop with integrated gpu, less than a year ago i was buying laptop and i was looking to purchase it in a store not online, and the only place that had any kind of selection of laptops with dedicated graphics card was micro center, as for best buy circuit city office max wallmart kmart target or any other place that sells electronics, 99% of their laptops have integrated chipset which is intended for online useage/movies, my guess is they do that because there isnt a huge demand of laptops with dedicated gpus because laptops are not ideal for gaming and dedicated gpu drives up cost of laptop significantly, no demant meas no point for supply because no money will be made
Also i dont think you can install dedicated gpu for your laptop, as you never had one, so that motherboard probably doesnt have gpu slot, itegrated chips are just built into mobo, even many laptops with dedicated gpu are that way
