Not true. My ABit IG-80 motherboard uses an on-board Intel chipset and it runs BlitzMAX applications flawlessly. It runs CircleMania roughly at the same speed as the Radeon X800XT does, (that is capped by the refreshrate).
Oh, yes, it will work, but the OpenGL drivers aren't installed by default on many PCs. You can always grab them yourself, or possibly some PC manufacturers install them. This is based on seeing failure reports from a shareware author who required OpenGL drivers.
