Hardware acceleration works with GMA 500, HOWEVER, you need to use slightly older graphics drivers under Vista or Windows 7. I don't know if it works under XP. Details and caveats can be found here:

The only thing that I may have that's different from the standard netbook configuration is a memory upgrade to 2 GB and Windows 7 Ultimate which I really can't see those minor upgrades providing much of a boost however you never know. I will downgrade my memory back to 1GB to see if that makes a difference. And I will let you know the results.

Hmm.. I tried it first on a netbook with Windows XP, but I tried again on
another netbook with a 1.66GHz Atom N280 CPU, GMA 950 graphics and Win 7
Home Premium. It's still choppy as all get out.

I wish I had an Aspire 250 lying around that I could test. As far as I can
tell, GMA 950 still isn't supported, but I wonder if there's something else
going on with your netbook that's giving it a boost.

Did you make sure to hit the HD button in the video? It's available in HD or
standard quality. The clarity is lower in SD, but it plays smoothly on my
computer. When I hit the HD button it goes into unintentional slideshow
mode.

Not sure but it ran pretty smoothly the clarity was not that great. Also I am using a Acer Aspire D250 with Bios 1.21

Thanks – kind of thought that because in my experience Windows XP refuses to recognise it, it must have been broadly newer than that!

GMA 950 has been around since 2004. It is not “recent”.

Interesting, I tried that link on my Asus Eee PC 1000H with Flash Player
10.1 and it's choppy as all get out.

There must be something else going on here.
