CS4 and Integrated graphics?

I'm trying to find a very low budget solution for editing Canon 5d footage with Premiere CS4. The question is if the CS4 will work with the new Intel Core i5-661 3.33GHz's integrated graphics processor? I'll not use the new computer for any gaming, so I'm not interested in buying a separate graphics card until I have to. If the integrated graphics won't cut it, or if the separate card drastically improves the editing performance, can you give me some advice on choosing a budget graphics card?

Thanks!
 
Generally speaking, using the built in onboard graphics card for anything other than browsing the web and writing text docs in word is a bad idea.

By having a dedicated graphics cards, you're reducing quite a load of the cpu. You only need the cheapest card that has OpenGL v2 support and these can be picked up for next the nothing.

They use cpu power for processing decreasing speed. if you're doing word docs, spreadsheets and youtube then they're okay but if you're doing something that needs teh cpu power, you should have a graphics card.
 
Oh. You mean using the motherboard integrated graphics with anything other, yadda yadda, is a bad idea. Gotcha.

Sure, any basic system should have a dedicated GPU.
