I am driving an MDD DUALIE 1.25 MHz / 2 GB RAM / 320 GB HD / NETSCAPE 
7.2 / OS X.4.7 and I was trying to watch an episode of CSI on Innertube 
and the "balloon kept spinning" and also when my daughter was watching 
some Batman episodes on YouTube.

Is this a processor glitch, I am maxed out on RAM, so I was thinking 
that it might be a video card ... since I know absolutely nothing about 
them.
