[QUOTE="Audio.Trench, post: 1178944, member: 13155"] Older Mac's do not like YouTube. My 733mhz G4 w/ 1.5gb ram, it was still, like you, choppy at best, even on 240p. Even after adding a Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb, it improved slightly, but they just were not watchable. One thing you can do is use Terminal to disable Dashboard, which can actually help overall system performance. Use this command line: [code]defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES[/code] followed by: [code]killall Dock[/code] To re-enable it, simply replace "YES" with "NO" at the end of the first command, and repeat "killall Dock" [/QUOTE]
