Youtube on a 400mhz?

(1/3) > >>

sphetr2:
Is it possible to watch Youtube videos without lag on a 400mhz laptop? I've had Xp and Xubuntu installed and it lags on both. Is it Firefox's fault?

SirPeale:
400MHz?  No, it's not FireFox's fault!

tikbalang:
yes, it is possible. you just have to pause the video and wait for it to download fully before playing. i used to do this on a p233mmx/64mb ram on win2kpro. no other tasks on except the browser.

You can wait for the buffer, thats the easy answer, or you can install another operating system that is less intensive, ie tinyxp or freebsd, and run it through that.  This is ofcourse if you can get tinyxp to recognize your NIC - which is the problem I am currently having...

Xubuntu is made for running on low-end systems, though. And I really don't want to install another OS (at least not right away; impulsively) because it took me a very long time to get this wireless card to work.

Is there a less intensive browser I could try? It would have to support javascript and flash though, too (so a browser like Dillo would not work).
