That being said, don't expect proper 3D acceleration for now, Intel is
supposedly working on this but that another year further down the
road. A friend of mine also got one intel graphic chip on his macbook
and he cannot run Quake3 for instance because of some issue with DRI
(can't confirm this, haven't seen the issue itself, you can take a
look at the specs of the laptop here :

This is an old generation so it might be better.
