My desktop plays HD youtube and some other videos choppy...why? - Josh - 02-28-2013 07:36 PM
I have a 7 year old Dell XPS desktop... 3.0 dual core, 2 megs of ram. Is my problem with the ram? 720p is usually ok, but 1080 is choppy as hell and unwatchable

you may want to update your ram and try checking your internet speed at the times it is choppy

If not, it might be that the hardware is not powerful enough. At the end of the day, playing back 1080p videos requires a decent amount of CPU and a decent graphics card. If you have a very old system or a system that is even a couple of years old, it may be time to invest in a new machine or to upgrade the graphics card/memory/hard drive.
