Does this sound right ? im having serious issues play youtube content as it turns into a slide show. Even if i allow it to fully download and not stream from the 54mbit wireless card.
Should it be struggling to do this? All i wanted was to use it for net browsing and streaming music too which it handles decently enough

laptop is as follows

any ideas or tweaks i can make.. i thought this would easily handle it..
 
urgh ok i sifted through old ECS websites got a generic Bios and flashed to get more access than the Resellers.

Turned out the shared memory on the onboard graphics was set to max 4mb... now set at max and video performance is very acceptable..

sorry to waste your time
