How would I be able to tell what kind of graphics card is in my system?
Do exactly what you did, right click on Computer and goto Properties. Then goto the Hardware tab. Then press the Device Manager button.

Your videocard will be under Display Adapters.

I know SC2 is very scalable, you can put it to very low graphics which would almost get to you to Warcraft 3 type graphics from the screenshots I've seen. My crappy netbook can play Warcraft 3.

It's actually not bad I think (for a laptop graphics card). Here is a guy with an 8400M GT (only slightly faster) playing SC2 with all high details. It would be smoother if you lower the graphics a bit.



There are tons of modern games (Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Crysis, Fallout 3, etc.) being played on that graphics card. If you have the 8400M, I think you are perfectly fine.
