[QUOTE="ggunn, post: 1038199, member: 151541"] Hi, there. I have a 533 MHz G4 running MacOS 10.4.11 with high speed (cable) internet access. On line streaming video (YouTube, for example) is unwatchable; I get about 1 frame per second and herky-jerky audio. My wife's newer iMac shares the connection and doesn't have this problem. A friend has suggested that the video card may be what's causing it; he says that even the audio would be affected by the video card's passing too much work over to the CPU. Is that feasible? Right now, System Profiler shows the card as being ATY, Rage 128 Pro on the AGP bus with 16MB VRAM. Out on Another World (MacSales), I see a Radeon 7500 for about $60; might this solve my problem?
