Intel GMA3600 and GMA3650 is based on PowerVR SGX545, the difference is GMA3600 clocked at 400Mhz and GMA3650 at 600MHz compare to PowerVR which clocked at 200MHz. We can say that GMA3600 and GMA3650 is not really an Intel GPU but a rebadged PowerVR SGX545.
GMA3600 : Mostly found in the Intel Atom N2600 processor and Atom D2500 models.

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

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)

*You need to register (free) to download the files. I do not upload the file, just found it on the internet. If you dound other download link, share it with others.
You must Install it Manually : (example with picture here)
1. Extract the driver file, remember the extraction folder location. For this tutorial let just extract it to desktop. (you will need winrar or 7zip software to extract it)
2. Open device manager by click start - run - and type devmgmt.msc
3. Right lick on the IGMA 3600 (with yellow mark) and select update driver.
4. Select ' no, not this time'and select 'advance, install from a list of specific location'.
5. Select don;t search I will choose the driver to install.
6. Click Have disk (also uncheck 'show compatible hardware if that option available').
7. Click Browse and Point to the driver we extract earlier on the desktop.
8. Select the iegd.inf or iegd, OK and proceed with on screen installation.
9. Reboot after installation finish.
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.

How to enable Metro UI in Windows 8/8.1
Either you manage to install Windows 7 drivers in Windows 8, or stay with the standard Graphic adapter you can enable the Metro UI by editing the Registry Value. This tutorial seems quite advance for non tech-savvy but believe me it is easy, here is the tutorial with pictures : http://laptop-driver.blogspot.com/2014/04/how-to-enable-metro-ui-in-windows-8-and.html

I recently purchased an Intel D2700 MUD motherboard and I cannot find drivers for the Win7 x64 integrated graphics (Intel GMA 3650 aka PowerVR sgs545). The accompanying CD contains Win7 x32 version only. When I run it I got an error:
This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software.
I tried to use online utility Intel Driver Update Utility Graphics. I used Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer without success. First, UAC prompt appear, and then endlessly spinning progress-bar with text 'Analyzing computer...'. The text in UAC prompt is:
Program file name: System Requirements Lab
Verified publisher: Husdawg, LLC
I downloaded this utility (intel_srldetect_4.5.5.0
) and started it from my hard disk. I got an error:
A network error occured while attempting to read from the file:
C:UsersLoomDownloadsSystemRequirementsLab_intel_4.5.5.0.msi
Standard VGA driver works for this video card but without hardware acceleration:
Hardware acceleration is either disabled or not supported by your video card driver, which could slow game performance. Make sure you have the latest video card driver installed and that hardware acceleration is turned on.
Where I can get appropriate driver?
EDIT:
I installed the 8.15.8.1050 beta (GFX_Vista_Win7_64_8.15.8.1050_Beta5) from the @someonewhoknowsstuff's answer in safe mode, because in usual mode I've got an error:
An error occurred while registering one or more components.
Setup will exit.
After installing OS didn't start but began crashing on start with BSOD:
A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
imgkmd64.sys
DRIVER_UNLOADED_WITHOUT_CANCELLING_PENDING_OPERATIONS
[...]
Technical information:
* * * STOP: 0x000000CE (0xFFFFF88007039C68, 0x0000000000000008, 0xFFFFF88007039C68, 0x0000000000000000)
imgkmd64.sys
Thus, I forced to remove this driver. (As @testersaid, cause of BSOD is my 4GB RAM. So, reducing amount of memory down to 2GB can make the driver work.)

Intel does not support 64-bit with that motherboard's graphics chipset. That's the official line.
Judging by version of the existing 32-bit driver (v 8.14.8.1077), you may be able to get away with using the 'Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 Driver for Windows 7* 64 bit', as it reports 'This driver package contains version 15.12.75.50.7.64.2230 (8.14.10.2230)'.
I've dealt with Intel drivers for many years now, and a) they have a duality when it comes to version numbers, and b) they are very good at bundling similar drivers together.
Often the driver 'version' is the bundle's version (v15.12.xxxx), which contains one or more drivers with their own version numbers (ie v8.14.xxxx); or something to that effect, I've never hammered it down exactly. :)
Unfortunately, if that one doesn't work you may be out of luck.

EVRICA!
search google for 'GFX_Vista_Win7_64_8.15.8.1050_Beta5'. tested on Acer Aspire One D270-26Dkk with Intel atom N2600, 4Gb DDR3 A-data 1333Mhz, under windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
Good luck!

you can force the driver to install editing the .inf file, in this particular case: igdlh64.inf
Hp Deskjet 3650 Drivers For Windows 7
- from device manager (Run -> DevMgmt.msc) right click and copy the Hardware ID of the display adapter
- insert it (in my case PCIVEN_8086&DEV_0BE1; you can keep the substring if you want/have it - this is enough to corectly identify the vga onboard) in the [Intel.Mfg.NTamd64] section of the .inf file replacing one, any or even all the existing hardware_IDs, so you will be able to try all the drivers for all the supported boards.
- replace the mames that will appear after identification with your own in order to be able to test them one by one in the section;; Localizable Strings;
- manually install the drivers one by one, then restart, and try the next one (this is why you need to give them different names at the end of the .inf file)
if the driver is working with your board, you will see in DevMgmt.msc the message 'This device is working properly' otherwise, you will get a 43 code - device was shut down by windows.
good luck trying any driver!
NB: under a 64bit OS, you need x64 drivers for a hardware. you may try to use a virtual machine with win32 installed, but.. what`s the point?
Sorry to give you the bad news, folks!
The so-called 'Intel' GMA3600 actually was NOT designed by Intel, but is instead a PowerVR SGV545 licensed from British-based Imagination Technologies (www.ingtec.com/).
While Intel Corporation makes its own graphics programming documentation freely available (https://01.org/linuxgraphics/documentation), Imagination Technologies considers its own programming documentation 'Confidential Information' (a.k.a. military 'Top Secret'). Imagination Technologies refuses to provide 64-bit drivers for its PowerVR graphics cores and is jealous of keeping its own documentation strictly under lock and key and of employing the long arm of the law to insist that its documentation remain Top Secret.
Plain and simple, folks. This is why Intel CANNOT produce drivers for the GMA3600 for ANY 64-bit operating system platform, whether it be Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, open-source Linux, you name it. Period.
It's not really an Intel GPU but an integrated/rebadged PowerVR SGX545, so Intel doesn't seem to have much control over it. They do not make 64-bit drivers for this GPU, and haven't made any plans to do so public.
I'm in the same boat. I'm using a Shuttle XS36V with that CPU, now as a low-power server. The same GPU (albeit slower clocked) was available in an older Atom, and there are still the same issues today with that 32-bit driver. I don't expect much here.

Intel recently released a 'test' driver for x64 Windows.
Title: Intel® HD Graphics Test Driver for Windows 7 & Windows 8 64 (zip)
Date:09/24/2012
Version:15.28.6.64.2857
Operating Systems:Windows 7 (64-bit), Windows 8, 64-bit
Devices:
- 2nd Generation Intel® Core™ Processors with Intel® HD Graphics 3000/2000
- 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ Processors with Intel® HD Graphics 4000/2500
I know this post is old, but as Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 released after this post, I decide to test it on it and share my finding:
Win7 x64: Confirmed 2GB ram working, 4GB still testing
Win8.1 x64, win10 x64: all 2GB and 4GB ram lead to BSOD using GFX_Vista_Win7_64_8.15.8.1050
So, sad to say please just save your time to stick on Windows 7

BiloBiloNecro'ing this thread because of new info for better driver now available:
As the GMA 3600 etc is in fact a POWERVR SGX545 I did a site search of Imagination Technologies to see if they didn't perhaps have a better driver for the n2600.https://www.google.co.za/search?ei=-XjQW6TYN4mJgQbWlJGgAw&q=site%3Awww.imgtec.com+POWERVR+SGX545+windows+driver+download&oq=site%3Awww.imgtec.com+POWERVR+SGX545+windows+driver+download&gs_l=psy-ab.3...4379546.4392400.0.4393542.17.17.0.0.0.0.444.4784.3-13j1.14.0....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..3.0.0....0.Pjz8X781k0E
They didn't BUT:'...the big news for this release is the major upgrade of our PowerVR performance profiler, PVRTune Complete. We’re exposing more data than has been previously possible on mobile/embedded hardware, giving a major boost to your optimisation sessions...'https://www.imgtec.com/blog/powervr-tools-and-sdk-2018-release-1-now-available/
ie: The 'military 'Top Secret' data required to write a decent, optimized* driver now seems to be available!?
Optimised:
- DirectX10.1 API support
- Enhanced support for DirectX10 GeometryShaders
- DirectX10 Data assembler support (Vertex, primitive and instance ID generation)
- Render target resource array support
- Full arbitrary non power of two texture support
- Full filtering support for F16 texture types
- Support for all DirectX10 mandated texture formats
- Sampling from unresolved MSAA surfaces
- Support for Gamma on output pixels
- Order dependent coverage based AA (anti-aliased lines)
- Enhanced line rasterisation
