Well, both suck monkey balls for gaming, but the Intel HD 3000 sucks less than the GMA 4500 does.
If you want playable performance in all your games, then grab an nVidia or AMD/ATI card that CAN game. That being said, consider the GTX 460 1GB, or HD 6850 1GB.
Since this is built into the second generation intel i series and seems to run somewhat good for gaming the intel hd 3000 series got some games up to medium settings with a little lagging
