[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 881786, member: 24098"] From a hardware perspective, modern Macs are no different than PCs. So, given adequate RAM, considering the other programs you run simultaneously with your YouTube videos, this should be a fairly light load. As I said in my previous post, I think your machine is struggling trying to manage all the VM that's needed to run all of your stuff. YouTube videos stuttering is just one symptom of that problem. Another thing you could try is to update your video codecs (do you use Perian or Flip4Mac?) and also ensure that Adobe Flash is up to date (which is what YouTube uses to play videos). [/QUOTE]
