Acceleration is simply using GPU for graphics operations instead of  
CPU. 3D accelerator accelerates 3D operations (rendering 3D objects)  
and 2D accelerator accelerates 2D operations (bit blits, line  
drawing, clipping etc.). On modern computers, 2D graphics are  
simulated using 3D without perspective, because 2D accelerators were  
almost dropped years ago by graphic cards vendors.

I hope I didn't simplified it too much. ;)
