Flash kills pretty much every G4 except the >1ghz dual processor machines. My media MDD is a dual 1GHz with maxed out RAM, and it just barely can handle Hulu, and definitely not anything HD. The faster single G4s can handle YouTube OK though, but only when it's the only thing using CPU cycles.
I rebuilt a dead iMac G4 800MHz for my 11 year old sister this past summer, and (running 10.4 w/maxed out RAM) it's slow with everything but Word and iTunes. I get frequent complaints from her about how "such and such internet game looks like crap." (And it's wired into my network too, I stay away from WiFi as much as I can.) I guess I'll have to upgrade my media MDD to a G5 and give the MDD to her.
