Maybe I'm reading this wrong.
Version 11: 128MB of graphics memory
»www.adobe.com/products/f ··· ecs.html

Version 12: 512MB of graphics memory
»labsdownload.adobe.com/p ··· otes.pdf

There may be a typo here, but maybe they upped the anti on video memory. It used to be, if one didn't have the appropriate video memory, flash would still work, without hardware acceleration. I got 1 card with 2MB of memory, but I have to figure out what the other card has. I think I'll hold off for now and see if some bug fixes come out.

-Edit Nevermind, comparing apples to oranges, Shockwave to flash.

I ask out of ignorance, what is Shockwave needed for?

I have never found a program that needed it.

My wife does a few hours of online gaming every day, and she never needed it. I took it off my machines several months ago, she never noticed it was gone.

I just got tired of Adobe doing updates more often than I change my underwear.

I have to update Flash, but as I said Shockwave seems as useful as a refrigerator in the Yukon, so one less thing to update.

Apparently, it's used mainly for gaming these days.

Any link for a standalone download? When I tried the above, it came up with some weird 'upgrade' prompt.

I don't think we can post direct links any more.

Mods may feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken.
