OS X does not support TRIM, so you want to make sure it uses the SandForce controller.

Integrated has always been pretty shaky, but I also thought it was interesting the strong build you were creating, with no graphics (or integrated, even).

Integrated Graphics do not work with P67 ... only H67 (maybe B67 or Q67) and Z68 (yet to come) I think.
