Can a Compact laptop run the sims 3 without a video card upgrade?

We just got a laptop and Im wondering if the the sims 3 will work on it without a video card upgrade. Also, WILL IT MAKE IT REALLY SLOW???|||Graphics chips on a laptop cannot be upgraded, they are soldered somewhere on the motherboard. You are stuck with the graphics chip the laptop came with.|||well it depends on the specs of ur laptop..post the make and model of ur laptop;)
