[QUOTE="CrystalSC, post: 1316868, member: 220378"] Hello. A year or so ago I purchased a used Powerbook G4 to "try out" a Mac and see how I like it. Everything works great on the computer except I can't stream any video (no Youtube). Well, it tries but it's extremely choppy and unwatchable. Apparently the video card is too outdated and it can't be upgraded. I've decided I want to go full-time Mac. But I don't want to make the same mistake twice. Can anyone advise of the type of video card I need to be looking for in a used model? In addition to streaming, I work a lot in video editing (previously Vegas but will be making the jump to Premiere). A brand new Mac just isn't in the budget. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
