Hello

Do other 3d applications (games) run correctly and fast enough?

which exact drivers and version do you have installed? Also since planeshift uses openGL to render the game and NOT directx like many windoze games just saying one game runs without knowing what engine it uses does not help much in this case.

how do you get OpenGL? I have the same problem as the poster and I'd really like to play this game, is openGL downloadable to do I have to buy some sort of graphics card?

In simple terms, OpenGl is nothing more than a cross platform solution that does what ActiveX does for Windows applications, only it works on all major OS's.

You don't have to get it.. you just have to have a video card that supports it. 

Most cards now-a-days do, but only after you update your card's drivers to the latest offered by the card manufacturer.  If you are having graphic issues, then the first step you should try is to go the video card manufacturer's website, download, and install the latest drivers they offer for your installed card.
