I had thought that but old G4 Power Mac mirrored doors did not have this problem (it has a newer system and different vid card). I t may be the Radeon card vs the Nvideo card in the iMac G4 or it might be something else in the architecture. I also wonder if a RAM upgrade would be of any use or if a newer system software would allow for newer browser plugins that might not have this problem Kim

I'm hooked up on my apple wifi network and thught that might be the problem but am getting my full 20 up and down speeds like on my newer machines. What is choking the video? Is it the NVIDEA GeForce4 MX thats just not good enough? Im running 10.4.11.
