[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 1178154, member: 21101"] I hate to break it to you, but the 400mhz processor is not going to cut it with streaming video. Netflix, Hulu and almost all YouTube content will be unwatchable. One of the posters said 240p might work, but I actually doubt even that. Try Apple Trailer [url=http://www.apple.com/trailers]Movie Trailers - iTunes[/url] and see if the lowest quality video plays back - it might. Even so, investing in a Gig of RAM will be good if you're happy to just use it as a grab and go workhorse for word processing and maybe some audio, but it's not going to cut it in the world of online video. Even a 1ghz G4 now would struggle with a lot of streaming content. [/QUOTE]
