Flash is evil.  I don't use Flash, so this is from googling.

Adobe seems to have stopped supporting hardware acceleration on Linux.

	"* On Linux, hardware acceleration is only supported in Google
	Chrome."

They used to support the proprietary nVidia driver's VDPAU.

Perhaps if you use the Chrome browser you can keep your old machines.
But I don't know if your GPU is supported by Chrome's Flash.

Or switch to an old Flash (danger! danger!).
