    Whenever i watch a video on youtube or cnet it gets a little jumpy at times... does it have something to do with the drivers? or my powerbook just sucks?

    It could also be that your internet connection is too slow or that YouTube/CNET is really busy or having other issues. Try waiting for the videos to fully load before you play them, Do you still get jumpy playback? If so I'd blame your old outdated computer :D.

    I got a new one, but im not gonna buy yet another, i have a new tx190, and this old mac, idont want to get another, everything else runs perfect. I dont play games on it or edit pictures so its smooth. i do wait until it completely loads to play. but it still does it. i thought i could fix it with some driver update or something.

    Open Activity Monitor. Is something eating up your CPU while watching the movies?
