Hi, one app you can try is the RAM defragmenter Turbomem. You could "turbocharge" QT6 and see if that helps for your video playing. It allows me to play DivX films on my 6500/G3 350. You configuration might be too limited though to get a good improvement. Thierry -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
