Same here. My laptop is a Lenovo with a Core i5-2520M (2nd gen Intel
Core) which has HD3000 graphics too and it has run 11.10, 12.04 and now
12.10 amd64 with no problem whatsoever. In fact, everything works
brilliantly, including wi-fi (Centrino Ultimate-N 6300), the HDMI port
(including sound via HDMI), and the built-in webcam.

Cheers,
