[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1399875, member: 24098"] It's probably nothing to do with the processor anyway. The Motorola set-top DVR that was supplied to me by Verizon has a CPU that is several orders of magnitude less powerful than that in your Mac and it can stream video and record 2 HD channels simultaneously with no problem. Tell us a bit more about what you mean by "streaming". It almost sounds like you're trying to use your iMac like a DVR, but then you're referring to streaming - which I think refers to downloading video either across the network or across the Internet - and problems with that are far more likely to be related to the bandwidth of your network (particularly if you're using wireless).
