I seem to have run into a bottle neck on my Cube 1.2GHz 1.5 GB

It sounds like the Cube is nicely upgraded, the weak link may be the
video card. My Cube has a GeForce 6200, a popular upgrade for the
Cube, and it plays video pretty well (considering its age!).
I have a GeForce 3 card that replaced a Radeon 7500 so I think that
would discount the video card plus the display is only a Apple Studio
17" ADC.
Playing video is not a problem its the streaming stuff like YouTube,
iChat and Skype. Compared to my G4 1.25 MDD and G5 2.7 PowerMac the
Cube isn't in the hunt even though it's got a 1.2 GHz processor. I
still need to check some more things that Dan suggested I'm not alone
with this problem It's hard to find folks that use a Cube or any slow
Bus machine for iChat or Skype, hence the confusion as to the video
performance.
