    Im using the Chrome browser to view some Netflix HD movies. They seem to be quite jerky and everyfew minutes freeze for a second. Is this due to silverlight and mac not working well together or maybe the intel video processor? Anyone else having this problem

    I run NetFlix on a mac with no problems at all, even using chrome. The problem is either your ISP, or its just netflix being slow. I do know that NetFlix servers do have high load times which slows everyone down.

    So assuming your software is running correctly, its not your mac.
