I'm sorry? You said what, again?
I have a G4 1 GHz PowerBook and it's never had a problem streaming any online video. Its Internet connection is wireless with Cox Communication's highest speed to the PB's Airport. My download speed at the moment, which seems slower than usual, is 14.37Mb/s.
I just don't get the question. Am I missing something about the question?
I'm pretty impressed. If you can go to Hulu, click "watch Hi-Res" and not have any issues (at full screen), then consider yourself lucky. My CD MBP can't even do that.
Based on your post, I went to Hulu and gave it a test. I have to admit that while the picture quality is real good, except at full screen, there is a bit of choppiness in the playback.
I hadn't paid attention to this when watching u-tube videos, thinking that it was par for the course.
I haven't had a chance to check my 2.66GHz MacPro yet, but I hate to think that this facet of computer use forces continual upgrades. Speaking of upgrades, would upgrading the video card in my MacPro compensate for future problems associated with any of these video issues? If so, which one?
Thanks for your thoughts,
