Recommendation:

Because drivers before January 1 2009 are unsupported, it is highly recommended to update your drivers as it is 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.

For drivers update, check the folllowing links :

This document lists the GPUs 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 fallback to software.

Note that using the Stage3D APIs ensure you that even when running in software, your content should perform significantly faster (around 10x in some cases) than with previous versions of the Flash Player or Adobe AIR.
