what are the system reqs for SD video on youtube

[CrayonMuncher]

why is it i cant seem to get fluent playback on the newer youtube videos using the lowest SD setting.
playback is either choppy or it does this thing where the video size changes between the player and the top left corner.
on the older videos without res options it usaully fine. But most videos with the option to change resoulotion is pretty much always problematic
i have tried this on the system im using which has an 800 MHZ cpu and 768 ram, but the same also happens on my P4 2.8 Ghz with 2GB ram and and x800 pro.
im not expecting hd playback and i can live without 480p but why cant it at least play 360?


thx

I watch YouTube on my little 700Mhz EEE PC with no problem, so I would say that you're looking at some sort of hardware or driver problem.
