| 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? |

Check your CPU usage while watching a video and see if it's high . 1 . 73GHz processor Athlon XP and I have 3G RAM at the moment . I'll check that CPU in the Task Manager . |
