I know I had problems running full-screen Youtube video on my old Sawtooth with a 1GHz upgrade and a nice video card. However, on my Mac mini G4 (1.25 GHz) at work, I have no problems playing Youtube video full screen, even the high quality stuff. This tells me that either a) 1 Ghz won't cut it or b) your resolution is set too high for your CPU + video card to handle. Given that you're watching on a 24" monitor, I strongly suspect b) is your problem. Try reducing your resolution to something small (maybe 1280x800) and see if your playback doesn't improve.
