[QUOTE="Boner Jams 03, post: 369474, member: 27490"] yeah i own a 700 mhz g3 ibook which has a 16 mb videocard with 256 mb ram too. same symptoms. nothing seems to work to make the videos play smoothly through the browser. it really pisses me off as the only reason why i bought it was to use as a portable internet browsing machine. everyone who owns a mac keeps telling me its your processor etc, etc. well, i'm kind of sick of hearing that. case in point, i also own 2 PCs. one for my actual graphics, gaming stuff and the other which is a dinosaur running at only 450 mhz , 10 gig HD with only 256 mb ram as well and a 8 mb videocard. guess what though? that machine can run streaming web video smoothly and efficiently. so excuse me if i'm a little confuzzled why my comparatively higher spec'd mac cant handle something that a POS pc can handle with ease. don't get me wrong. i think macs are fine machines in their own right. It annoys me though when everyone brags about how superior macs are and as you can see when it comes to something like this it really makes one wonder if all these claims hold water. just my two cents and i'm sure i'll get flamed for pointing this out.
