Re: hulu
said by frankdsl124c  :I was also thinking of getting a faster internet service such as Verizon Business Class or such. Would this help? In theory yes, but in practice it appears that you may have enough ISP speed, and the problem is your CPU speed. If so, a faster ISP speed won't make much of a difference (except to your pocket book), until/unless you get a computer with a faster CPU...
BTW:
I have the same problem with 3meg (supposedly 10meg, but my older modem can't sync with my DSL at full speed) internet, and I still have the same hulu problems you do with my older computer. And yes, things like playing with the priority, using smaller video, etc, all help (but only so much).
OTOH: I just got done viewing things using my newer (albeit not exactly super fast) laptop (but cabled up to my 20" CRT monitor), and I had little problems watching "full screen". So in the end, the solution appears to be to get a faster CPU, not necessarily a faster internet (as your internet is probably "fast enough", it's your CPU that's having trouble drawing the video in "real time"). |
