[Ti] Problems with videos

[Francis]

As far as I know, there's no way to upgrade video ram on the
powerbook. As for 10.4, I tried it for a few weeks last year and saw
no performance gains, quite the opposite. Dashboard eats up a lot of
RAM resources! So I downgraded back to 10.3.9 wich feels snapier.
