Answer 2

I just figured it out for anyone who is having this same issue. It was the type of JRE installed. I had the 32bit JRE environment installed on a 64bit machine and for some reason it wasn't utilizing the integrated Intel graphics chip. However after installing the appropriate 64bit JRE, page flipping and hardware acceleration work with the Intel integrated chip.

You can download other versions of the JRE at: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre7-downloads-1880261.html

Really strange can't believe I stumbled upon the answer. Hope this helps someone in the future :)
