1126405 2010-08-10 19:49:00 I've watched YouTube for years and I always thought it was a little jerky and had gaps in the continuity .

Until I got an Acer Aspire 5532 LT - and now I can see that it's prolly this old Soyo mobo . An NVidia GeForce FX500 should be pretty good - right?

True - I'm just running a 17" CRT on the ol' Soyo, but I can't understand why I cannot get smooth flow with this system .

Any ideas?

BTW: I'm running the Acer on my WIFI and yet the Soyo is hard wired via Cat5e to the same router .

The Cat5e should be a lot faster than waiting for the electrons to jump through the atmosphere via wireless - again, is that right?

1126406 2010-08-10 20:47:00 An FX500, you mean an FX5200? It's rubbish, even when it was new.

So is an Acer - what possessed you to buy that?

The Acer was $100 . 00 and came with Win7 .

It is an FX5500 . I dropped one of the 5's I guess .

Check your CPU usage while watching a video and see if it's high.

Once they upped the quality/unnecessary coding they just started skipping after a while, mainly because I was driving the screen at a rather high res too.

1 . 73GHz processor Athlon XP and I have 3G RAM at the moment .

I'll check that CPU in the Task Manager .
