Browser speed is moot here. This is all about the plug-in's speed - Flash or QuickTime. I think most stuff on YouTube is Flash but it's moving to H.264? From the hardware point of view, this is about sheer number crunching speed. These plug-ins use very little memory or disk i/o. They just need more power with which to rebuild the compressed data frames. Some of this crunching can be off-loaded into the graphics processor (GPU) on the video card. That's what technologies like Quartz Extreme are ultimately all about. If your machine supports it, make sure it's enabled. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
