Well, it sounds like the Intel chipset is the main thing that does not work currently unfortunately.

However, I don't think that MoI actually needs to do anything that the Intel chipset cannot actually do, so there is still some hope that it might be able to work.

But in general the Intel chipset is much lower powered in 3D performance than stuff from either ATI or nVidia, so for 3D specific use it is usually better to have either ATI or nVidia graphics.

Yeah this is a beta version, not a trial version - I will eventually have a trial version ready but not until the v3 beta period is over and the final release is out, that's been the regular beta process for a while now.
