To those who are watching Flash Video without any problem, I'd appreciate some
insights and pointers!
My problem:
Flash Video is slightly choppy at full screen. My monitor is 1600x1200,
so I guess the full screen video is 1600x900.
What I have:
- Athlon II X2 260 (dual-core, 3.2GHz, 2MB)
- nVidia GeForce 8500
- Firefox 4 (beta)
- Adobe Flash Player 64-bit "square" preview version
- kernel 2.6.37 (x86_64, SMP, preemptive)
What I want:
Smooth Flash Video at full screen.
What should I do?
1. Should I upgrade the video card to GeForce 430 ? I borrowed GeForce
250, and did see some improvement but not that much. GeForce 430 is advertised
to be better at "multimedia" things.
2. Should I get a whole new computer? Eg. i7-870 quad-core which goes
up to 3.6GHz, assuming Turbo Boost works. My current computer is already 3.2GHz
dual-core, so I don't think similar i3/i5 will bring a substantial speedup.
Then, again, may be they might. I don't know.
Any advice will be appreciated.
