DirectX and Games Capability
Intel Originally claimed both GPUs support DirectX 10.1 but due to driver issues it only support DirectX 9.0c. This is not a big problem to discuss, because the GPUs itself cannot handle DirectX 10 games very well. Here is simple summary from Windows Experience Index:
Graphic: Desktop Performance for Windows Aero : 5.6
Gaming Graphic : 3D Business and Gaming Graphics : 3.2
Drivers For GMA 3600 and GMA 3650
I think it is important to list out all support available on one page, sadly I didn't found any solution for windows XP 64-bit. If you know or have information about it, do let me know in the comment section below.
Requirement:
- The software should be installed on system with at least 1GB of system memory (RAM).
- Intel® Atom™ D2500, Intel® Atom™ D2550, Intel® Atom™ D2700
Intel® Atom™ N2100, Intel® Atom™ N2600, and Intel® Atom™ N2800 - Intel Graphic Media Accelerator 3600 Series (GMA3600 and GMA3650)
I found a driver posted by someone on the internet which worked with XP. I believe he/she already modded the drivers so that it is compatible with GMA3600. (more info below)

If you know about moded thingy then it is not hard to understand. Base on the driver version, it is originally for Atom™ N2000/D2000 Series Embedded Media and Graphics Driver (check MSI Driver here - original file). When I look at the inf file changes was made in several part and worth to point out here is at the Localizable Strings section.

Since Intel does not plan to provide updates for this GPU anymore. We can only use Windows 7 drivers which show slight improvement over standard VGA graphic driver which automatically installed by Windows 8.
If resulting in error you need to troubleshoot compatibility (right click on the driver and select troubleshoot compatibility) and set to windows 7.
