How much dedicated memory does Intel 4600 HD graphics have? I'm thinking of buying the i5 4400 processor for medium level gaming.

This one is cheaper than the MSI one. http://www.flipkart.com/zotac-nvidia-gtx-750ti-2-gb-ddr...
It doesn't have VGA out, but DVI output. Though it comes with a DVI to VGA adaptor. It has a higher clock speed too. Should I go for the Zotac one instead?

I tried running Star Wars: The Old Republic on my current laptop and when I clicked 'Play' it said that it was incompatible.
I have Intel HD Graphics. Sadly, the game seems to only be taking the 'dedicated' memory into consideration and not the shared memory. Is there a way to force the game to take the shared memory into account as well?
Dxdiag of current laptop:
How do I know if the i5 4440 good enough to run the game? How do I find out how much dedicated memory the 4600 graphics has? I wouldn't want a repeat of this incident to occur once I've made the purchase.
Would you suggest going for the AMD A8-6600K instead of the i5 processor?
game-debate.com shows that I can in fact run Star Wars: The Old Republic using intel HD graphics and there have been players who have run the game using even intel hd 3000.
I'll take a look at that guide and get back to you.
