[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 888333, member: 56379"] Unless someone has a completely obsolete computer...this thread has nothing to do with the age of the computer...or whether it's a PC or a Mac...and has EVERYTHING to do with your internet connection! A 2:36 video from You-Tube should take just that 2 minutes & 36 seconds to play (assuming a decent internet connection speed)! If you have a slow internet connection...then of course it will take longer to play, because the download speed may be very slow. I just did it on my 3 year old 2.33ghz MBP. The video took 2:36...just like it should to play. Now playback quality is a different matter. An older PC or Mac with a slower processor & slower graphics hardware will have poorer playback quality, where the video & sound will be "choppy". But even an older computer will still take 2:36 to play a 2:36 as long as you have a decent speed internet connection! - Nick [/QUOTE]
