The card is not powerful enough to support Direct3D under Virtualbox. Even native OpenGL support is is rather bad under Linux. In Ubuntu by default you are not running vesa drivers, but rather the accelerated Intel drivers present in Xorg -- check if you are running desktop effects for the presence of acceleration. Intel has no proprietary drivers for Xorg (except for Poulsbo which is found only in a few gimped netbooks). What is in Xorg is all that is offered. What you downloaded from Intel's site is probably a few weeks newer that what is available in Ubuntu. So you probably wont notice a great difference in performance.
