Hi,
Running an iBook G4 right now. Noticing that online movies (Youtube, etc.) are pretty much unplayable. It feels like it's skipping frames of video, and the audio is choppy.
At first I thought it was the internet connection since it's a stream, but I paused the video so the entire thing could download, then hit play. No change.
My HDD is about 60GB (around 57 after formatting) with around 27.5GB still free. I have the maximum amount of RAM in the system, 1.5GB. Ran Disk Utility and repaired any appropriate permissions. Went so far as to downloading Onyx to optimize the OS, turned off all widgets in Dashboard, only essential services running according to Activity Monitor. I made sure my iBook is getting power (plugged in) because I know the CPU will throttle if it's on battery. No change.
For the record, I also reinstalled the OS due to some other unrelated issues about a month or two ago, and the problems existed both before and after the reinstall.
So, is there some type of change in web content over the last couple years? I remember being able to watch videos on my iBook at some point in the past, it wasn't always like this.
