I have an "underpowered" computer running integrated Intel graphics
(read: the cheapest of the cheap). The open-source Intel drivers work
just fine with Gnome 3/Gnome Shell. (Actually, I have more trouble with
the NEWER Intel cards, like those on the Sandy Bridge architecture).

Despite how flashy things look, the Gnome folks did a really quite
impressive job of limiting the hardware requirements to a very
reasonable set of 3D functions that should be present on most machines
built in the last four years at least.
