A lot of this depends on the d3d drivers for these boards. If they
write good drivers that:
set software rendering mode when not in fullscreen
and
set hardware acceleration mode when in fullscreen
then the d3d browsers should transparently support these cards to the
fullest extent possible. Otherwise everyone's browser implementations
will have to be hardcoded with the particular cases when hardware
acceleration is available and when it isn't and turn on these modes
accordingly.
