Since there is no available driver for the Intel HD Integrated Graphics card on the Intel MB I bought last week...
I wouldn't give up on Sandy Bridge yet. IIRC, another frequent participant here, Randall R Schulz, came here for Sandy Bridge help with 11.4 not too long ago, and I'll bet he got if working. Maybe a list mail archive search will produce hits you can use to that end.

I recently built and am now using a Sandy Bridge system based on an ASUS P8P67-family mainboard. I chose an nVidia graphics card. Note that this particular ASUS board does not include the Intel graphics hardware, so a discrete graphics card is required. While I'm not a graphics-intensive users (no gaming, e.g.) I do make some use of the KDE 4 desktop effects and some 3D applications like Stellarium, Celestia. Google Earth and Second Life. I have had no trouble installing and using the binary nVidia driver. On the other hand, this board seems prone to generating spurious interrupts, which leads the kernel to disable a particular IRQ. I don't think it has anything to do with the nVidia board, though sometimes it is that IRQ that acts up. BIOS updates released since the board was manufactured seem to have reduced the problem considerably, though not entirely eliminated it.
