I've installed 64 Bit Linux Mint on a PC with Intel Integrated Graphics and whenever I login I get an error that it is running in "Software Rendering Mode", which I believe is also making the computer run rather slowly. Is it possible to not use software rendering mode with the Intel Integrated Graphics that are in this computer? Or will I need to purchase a graphics card to get graphics performance better than software rendering?

Agreed. Intel integrated graphics perform well out of the box with the open source drivers that are installed by default. No need to install extra drivers.
His OpenGL Vendor String is "VMware, Inc.". That is: poster seems to be mixing up reports from actual hardware and from a virtual machine.
[EDIT] Please disregard; it seems that "VMware, Inc." is usual for llvmpipe. Googling the issue, causes tend to be manual installs of experimental Mesa. That is, I'll butt out; thread seems to be on right track after all
