Highly recommended to upgrade your memory to allow for larger memory cache which means the video can come from cache instead of having to wait to get more pieces of it (thus giving that choppy look) into memory for use by the video card from it's source. BUT... you said video online! Did you mean video from over the internet? If so then the major limiting factor will not be your system but will be your internet connection speed (and even that can be helped out by more than 512MB main memory). And if you want to upgrade your processor speed - it won't hurt but it won't necessarily help. For example, if the CPU is running at less than 85% utilization while playing the video then upgrading the processor will only provide marginal improvement in playing capability.
