Sorry man, but it's not gonna get very far with an Intel 3000. I tried on
an Intel 4600, and it still is extremely slow.
I don't think it has anything to do with the OS.

Bummer :(
Why does it need such a good GPU? Other games/programs run fine

Because basically everything is done on the GPU. Every screen pixel has a ray that is traced into the space individually untill it collides with something. It's a very different technique from traditional games and very expensive.

Maybe the shaders can be optimized further, but I think @cnlohr has to look into that.
