PowerPC speeds and the switch to Intel...

2009-10-09 Thread Mac User #330250

Sort of on the same issue, does anyone know if there's something different about CNN videos? I do fine with YouTube and most other video formats (and I use ClickToFlash to avoid loading Flash stuff I don't want), but CNN videos play terribly for me. (AGP G4 1.4ghz, 2 gigs, RAM 10.4.11
