[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1293414, member: 8287"] 240p? My old P3 500 Thinkpad will do that. 240p to me looks so bad. Sorry. and I have seen no G3 that plays even 240p videos to my standard of smoothness. Maybe yours plays them, but it would bug me. Camino is fine for those old Macs but is far behind the times for any modern surfing. To the OP, Good luck. I was just pointing out about You Tube from experience. I have over 30 Macs here all in great shape, a collection. I know what each one will do. I modded a G4 667 Digital Audio and made it into a 1.8 Ghz G4 with 2GB RAM and Radeon 9800 Pro video. Very fast. It will play 360p You Tube vids quite smooth, but the upgrade parts cost me over $500 at the time. It was a fun project though but a lot of $$$. It does come very close to some of the early G5 towers in overall performance though. I really did it for the FUN of it as I am a big PC modder and always wanted to try a Mac. If it were a Powerbook though I really could have not gone this far. Again Good Luck. Keep us posted. And CWA, Stop the Amiga talk. You are making me want to pull out my Amiga 3000 from under the bed and mess with it! :D [/QUOTE]
