The box states you need a Directx 9 compliant card with at least 64MB of RAM on it (128MB recommended).

The onboard graphics on an Intel 910 chipset are on the extreme low end. It does not meet the specs. I think the 910 onboard stuff is Directx 7 compliant. It probably has no dedicated memory at all and uses a porition of your main system RAM. Probably with a limit of 32 or 64MB. Definitely not good at all.

You should go by a 6600GT 256MB AGP board for ~$150. or an x800 series for a bit more.
