i have a Black MacBook, Processor 2 GHz Intel Core Duo with 2 GBs of DDR2 ram but i cannot watch the 1080p trailers on apples website without extreme stuttering. is it possible my ram is not working properly. from what i've read, i should be able to do this with no problems. i've even tried restarting and having no applications open but no luck. can anyone help?

There probably isn't anything wrong with the machine at all. Those trailers do need to load up and stream into your player, though.
That is likely where the 'stuttering' is, in the loading and the actual connection to the server.

i always wait until it's done loading before i try to play it. 720p works fine. but i just really wanna see how 1080p looks on my HDTV. my sister has a MacBook with only 1GB of ram and she says they play flawlessly on hers. that's what made me think maybe something is wrong with my hardware
