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.
