Like most have stated I have had no success with viewing streaming Youtube videos. My best Mac is a 733 MHz DA and in streaming Youtube there are long pauses with only a few seconds of play.
Sounds like you have a buffering problem. What speed is your 'net connection? Try clearing your browser cache. Try clearing your flash cache. Try changing the Flash storage settings. <http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html>
However once the video is downloaded using only the Activity window in Safari it plays without a hiccup with the free MPEG Streamclip video player on the DA.
Which means that the machine is fast enough to handle the flash content. The problem is buffering - the ability of the machine to get enough of the content in memory to keep up with playing it.
