Just wondered, as ive got a quad core intel and my internet is only 2mb but i can watch them perfectly, it does take about 10mins of pausing for a 4-5min video but it plays back fine.

A friend has got a old p4/1gb of ram and 10mb internet but it plays laggy as hell, i guess its to do with the processor more than internet speed?

Anyone else have probs?

Does he actually have 10mb internet? I mean, has he done some sort of decent speed test? It's probably got as much to do with graphics card capabilities too.

on both pcs, athlon 64 3200+ 2.20Gz 2gb of cheepo ram, and the cheepest HD card i could buy a year ago cost Ł11.99

the other dual core E4500 2.2ghz 2gb of better ram and a graphics card that cost a few quid more than the other one

You just type in 1080p on youtube and you get loads of options

So must be just very very old pcs that are a no no then. I know athlon isnt exactly new but its better than my mates old p4

The problem I get with them is it doesn't buffer enough - it will stop after a bit needing to buffer again.

As i said, im on 2mb broadband, and thats wireless using a netgear wireless usb in my pc, and it loads fine.

I would suggest something is up with your internet
