    Hi all. I bought my brother dell inspiron 1525 and it's all good only 1 thing.

    Watching full screen online in Youtube, NBA site
    all sites on the net are in low quality.
    All other kinds of video runs in full screen good.
    I.e video works fine when "non-full screen" on the web, and when playing files located on the local hard drive

    He had Lenovo N200 and it was much smoother Watching full screen online.

    The laptop has Intel 965 graphics and runs Windows Vista.
    I did some research and it has somthing to do with the
    Intel 965 graphics chip in all company's not only dell.

    Tryied turning off Hardware Acceleration.
    Updated drivers from the Intel web site.

    Can some one help me?

    Flash videos, like those found on Youtube, rely on the CPU, and really don't use any GPU power at all. The fact that Youtube vids look awful in full screen is probably just due to the fact that they're very low quality to begin with, and stretching them to fit the whole screen just amplifies that.

    Hi and thanks for the reply.
    The Problem is in all the sites. It's not the flash itself
    Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family has some bug in it.

    Did you try watching the same videos on different computers, with dedicated ATi or nVidia graphics?
