Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 (Intel® GMA 3150) Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3600 Series. Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 500 (Intel® GMA 500). 'The integrated GMA 3150 graphics hasn’t been used by Intel before, it’s a 45nm shrink of the GMA 3100. It’s technically a DX9 GPU running at 400MHz, however as you’ll soon see - you can’t really play any games on this platform. The GPU only offers hardware acceleration for MPEG-2 video, H.264 and VC-1 aren’t accelerated.'

How does it work?
A short preamble is needed to explain what makes a GMABooster technology possible. Let's consider an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 (GMA 950). This integrated solution, while not fully supporting the latest and the most demanding games, still allows a user to enjoy the mass of brilliant gaming hits of all genres. GMA 950 does also fully support Aero and QuartzGL (enhanced GPU-driven user interfaces of Windows Vista and Mac OS X). It features a basic video playback acceleration, as well.
However, if You have own a laptop/netbook/nettop computer built on Intel 945GM/GME/GMS or GSE943/940GML/GU Express chipset, the above statements may not be truth for You. These all chipsets are LV (low voltage) versions of what we normally call Intel 945. Thus, integrated graphics core has been underclocked dramatically: 166/133 MHz instead of 400 MHz (default GMA clock in a 'normal' Intel 945 chipset). But the truth is, the indicated devices could handle up to 400 MHz with ease: at a nominal low voltage, without the loss of system stability, and with minimal to none impact on thermal specifications/battery life (proven by preliminary testing).
Here the GMABooster comes! It allows a user, not a manufacturer to choose the desired GMA speed. It combines a sophisticated assembler-level technology and the user-friendly graphic user interface, offering You to near double the GMA core perfomance without even a need to restart a computer. GMABooster may be considered as a safe, free, 'software-level' GPU core upgrade!

This document lists the GPU chipsets and graphics drivers not supported by the Stage3D feature introduced in Flash Player 11 (desktop) and AIR 3 (desktop). In such a scenario, your content still runs, but Flash Player 11 and AIR 3 will fall back to software rendering.
Note:
Using Stage3D APIs ensures that even when using software rendering, your content performs faster (around 10x sometimes) than with previous versions of Flash Player or Adobe AIR.
When using Stage3D 'constrained' profile:
- Any GPU that doesn’t support Pixel Shader version 2.0 or above
- Chrome VIA chipset
When using Stage3D 'baseline' profile:
- Any GPU that doesn’t support Pixel Shader version 2.x or above
- Intel GMAs that don't support Pixel Shader 2.x: 740, i752, IEG, IEG2, GMA 900, GMA 950, GMA 3000, GMA 3100, GMA 3150

*On Linux, hardware acceleration is supported only in Google Chrome.
*Intel HD GPU is supported fully on both Mac OS and Windows.
Updated drivers are likely to fix any software fallbacks you experience. If you still get software fallback after updating your drivers, then your chipset is likely to be unsupported.

- If Stage3D is rendered using a DirectX or an OpenGL driver, it is using a hardware-accelerated surface.
- If stage3D is rendered using Software Hw_disabled, it is using software rendering.
