My primary interest in flash is to watch Nova on hulu.com. The site requires an upgrade to Flash 9, which isn't available for my 64-bit Ubuntu system. But with the Flash 9 upgrade, it seems to run ok on the G4. It almost maxes out the CPU when I first run a show, and then settles down to about 60% on both CPU's. It's a little jerky, especially in full screen mode, but watchable. I may still get an upgrade, but at least for the moment I can do what I want.
Thanks for all your inputs!
