This tends to limit the use of laptops for gaming and entertainment, two fields which have constantly escalating hardware demands However, higher end laptops can come with dedicated graphics processors, such as the Dell Inspiron E1505 and E1705, which can be bought with an ATI Mobility Radeon X1300 or similar. These mobile graphics processors tend to have less performance than their desktop counterparts, but this is because they have been optimized for lower power usage

Why is video streaming jumpy on by iBook G4?

It's not a buffering problem. It loads fine but still jumps every second or so. Is there anything I can do to make it smoother? I have recently added a lot of songs and a new program or 2 to the computer, so maybe that is what is causing it?

The problem is that you're trying to use 5 year old tech (one of the lowest points for Apple hardware, actually) with modern multi-media. I sometimes use my old 1.0GHz G4 and even that has trouble with many web video sites. YouTube is fine, but some of the higher bandwidth sites like Hulu bring it to it's knees. The slow processor is the problem and there's nothing you can do to fix that short of buying a new machine.

Contrary to what Apple says, you can bump that machine to 1152MB of ram with a 1GB stick. I upgraded mine, and it does work better. Not perfect, but much better. Your best bet is to shut EVERYTHING down. Be sure you have only the one browser window open and no other applications running.

Open ActivityMonitor to see if there may be other user processes running as well. You never know. That will also show you what's up. Load that one video and watch that thing spike immediately to 100%.
