[QUOTE="mossanimal, post: 1024905, member: 144303"] I really need a solution here... very frustrating issue. We just bought a refurbished Mac Mini to stream video onto our HD TV. The Mini will be dedicated to this use and will have very little need of any other application. The Specs: 1.83 GHZ Intel Core Duo 1 GB 667 MHZ DDR2 SDRAM BUS 667 MHZ 54.78 GB in the hard drive Running MAC OSX 10.5.8 Using Safari ver 4.0.5 The issue: streaming video sucks using Hulu, ABC, CBS... choppy, stopping, etc. It will stop almost every second We have 1.5 DSL speed (and the speed checks are excellent) and that's all we can get out here in the sticks. But I'm led to believe it might be more of a hardware issue. I've tried resetting Safari, emptying cache, etc... but the computer hardly gets used anyway. I'm currently uninstalling Flash and am gonna try re-installing the latest version. So what else can I do??? Is there anything I should do to free up more RAM or something like that??? I did notice that when I'm offered the choice between HD and standard res... the standard res is watchable.... but still not perfect. I do have an upgrade for the OS I can use... But I'm not sure if that would help. Thoughts on that?? Anyway... Am I doomed or what? Thank you very much... I've done a ton of searching on this, and I just can't get a workable solution....

Verification
How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
