Forget Netflix, it uses M$'s Silverlight and there is no PPC version of it. There is workalike software called Moonlight (???) but even with that Netflix rejects the web browser (even if you try faking the web browser ID). I have a dual CPU MDD and it can play a QT movie okay at 640x480. It drags if I try putting up as full screen though. It will play youtube well enough. I don't recall what video card it has in it off hand. It may be an ATI Radeon 7500.
