    So...back story my computer is a Gateway and it is around 5 years old.

    These past few months I have noticed that if I watch videos on youtube or other video providing websites it because really choppy. I haven't really noticed my overall computer slowing down it is (from what I have seen) just the videos. Netflixs works decent but sometimes slows...which might be the internet connection.


    I also have gone down to a lower resolution but then the videos just look awful. I know I can't play HD 1080p videos but can I at least not have choppy vids?

    Is there a way that this can be fixed without having to get a new computer (which might happen soon)


    Halp.

    Is this an issue on both browsers or just one?

    Since both browsers have silent automatic updates now, I'm assuming they're both up-to-date?

    Can you provide your computer specs?

    Anything that could be causing the issue, such as RAM being too low or something.

    I have 2.00 GB and 1.75 GB usable for RAM, so your RAM looks good.

    Sounds like it could maybe be your processor. I have an AMD Athlon II X4 630 processor with 2.80 GHz

    I wouldn't think so. Just a new processor.

    However, seeing as it's an old computer, buying a new one might not be a bad idea.

    Try clearing your cache and restarting your router first. RAM and your CPU won't have much to do with your internet connection ._.

    It's either you graphics card or processor. My win764 bit laptop has choppy video on YouTube. I have yet to determine which one it is. It's most likely the graphics card.

    I think I will just have to get a new computer. It would be best cause I am sure there are more problems.

    Thanks guys!
