Yeah I definitely wouldn't expect it to run well at that resolution. Doesn't
that game have a fullscreen mode with an adjustable resolution you can set in
the config? With an integrated graphics chipset I would try 1024x768 and then
adjust the quality settings down as well. You're just not going to get
performance with a shared memory integrated chipset that you'd get from
something slower but dedicated.
