I have the "same" DA Dual 533 with SATA card and now an agp ATI Radeon 9800 Pro. I love the historical Jazz performers you find on YouTube. Same bad behavior with YouTube videos. I believe its actually Adobe's Flash Player we're having difficulty with playback in our browsers. If I download the YouTube video, it plays fine using VLC. No herky- jerky behavior like in the browsers.
