Steve,
Thanks for the information. I have installed Chrome, but streaming video
using flash is about the same as Firefox ( a little jittery )
I get the best results for flash streaming video when I use Seamonkey
1.17 for sites such as BBC Iplayer & Tvcatchup.com
I am a victim of having to use an Intel GM915 video controller on this
little Toshiba NB100. The newer driver in Karmic has helped, but there
is still room for further improvement.
Is there a way that you know of to improve the flash playback
performance in Chrome ?
Regards,
Nick Parkinson.
