As far as Minecraft goes, I had a lot of freezing and crashing going on recently until I ran OnyX. I would recommend OnyX for any Mac. Being that Minecraft is unfortunately a Java game. Java is a very fickle creature. A slower (1mb) connection is going to lag any newer game. I'm with you, he shouldn't need admin privileges, heck, I barely need them and it's my own Mac!

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.
