[QUOTE="MacMan886, post: 1178954, member: 188180"] I agree with everyone else... a 400MHz G4 is simply far too old to do anything anymore. Your best bet is to sell it (Believe it or not, you can still get about $50-75 out of it!) and buy at LEAST a 1.0GHz G4 with at least a gig of RAM if you can afford it. That is about the bottom line when it comes to playing videos on YouTube. A 1.42GHz eMac can be had dirt cheap on eBay, and can play videos just fine. In fact, I just bought one off eBay for $44.99; all I had to do was install the OS and upgrade the memory from 512 to 2.0GB. I only bought mine because I got absolutely sick of Windows PCs and couldn't take it anymore.
