I honestly don't know what everyone complains about with G4s and Flash. It runs nearly flawlessly on both the Quicksilver 933mhz I had and the &733mhz Digital Audio Power macs with basically stock hardware. Maybe the imacs are not so great since they were consumer level machines but honestly unless I try and run a you tube video at 720p it runs fine. But I would not expect a computer of any manufacture that old to stream HD anyway. Are my machines anomalies in that they handle youtube and other Flash sites just fine?
