But before I increase the on board display video memory from 32MB to 64MB, I had problem (tearing, sluggish, etc) on that machine. The trick was just to increase the on board memory. But for those who don't have the same option that I do have (on BIOS), then I guess they might face the same issue.

Ali the P4 can handle this kind of video flows with no issues. Give more ram to the video will help for sure but can't do miracle. If you can fins the stream path of the video you can try to reproduce directly on vlc... Give me the link, I would like to have a look on it. F. PS.: Naruto it's bett

Downloading the video is just for testing purposes... The problem is, P4 can play videos quite nice! I used less powerfull processor do it without a problem. But Flash Videos is another matter... Did you tried with both free and non-free flash plugin? 2013/7/10 Ali Linx (amjjawad) > OK amigo,

OK amigo, will give that a go ;) Thanks! P.S. Any kind of tweaks or something similar I can do to the machine/browser so it would play a bit better? P.S. 2 If P4 can't handle videos probably then, for sure, P3 or less powerful machine can not do that, right? On Wed, Jul 10, 2013 at 6:00 PM,

If Firefox can't handle this correctly because the CPU is not strong enough for nowadays videos, then I don't believe Chromium will, specially that machine has less than 512MB RAM. Oh, and it is not about RAM - as you can clearly see on the video I recorded for my desktop, it is not a RAM issue. zR
