I did some reading in the ATI forums and I might skip these drivers for now.

So, for motherboards, GPU acceleration of H.264 video content using Adobe Flash Player 10.1 Beta will only work for HD 4000-based IGPs?

Crap. I have an ECS A-780GM-A Ultra AM2/AM2+/AM3 motherboard with HD 3200... :(

Hey, what about support for GPU acceleration of H.264 through Silverlight? I use Netflix! :)
