Well, apparently it's not quite that simple. My DA DP 533
won't play Youtube videos smoothly on Firefox, Safari, or
Opera with the GeForce 6200 card. The machine has 1.5 GB 
of RAM to boot, and does well with normal browsing. My
Ubuntu dual-core machine plays them fine, so it's not the
internet connection. 

Intriguingly, the G4 plays commercial DVD's just fine, which 
makes it sound like something other than a CPU or video
card horsepower issue. 

Does anyone have experience using a PCI LAN card, rather
than the built-in one? Is this a software issue?
