| Choppy video when streaming fullscreen
It doesnt matter where the video comes from, or how full the buffer is.
When I watch hulu in fullscreen mode, its choppy, maybe 1fps at best. In the smaller window, its just fine. I watch alot of stuff on hulu.
I used to think that it was because my computer was old and crappy. I just bought a less crappy laptop:
Vista Home Premium
4gb ram
250gig HDD
2.0ghz AMD Athlon X2-64 processor
NVidia GForce 8200 GPU
This computer doesnt do any better than my old inspiron b130 with only 32mb of graphics memory...
Any suggestions?

Does it happen when you are not full screen?
Newest graphics driver?

Odd that it doesn't happen when not full screen. Shouldn't matter...
hulu, huh?
hulu desktop or the website through a browser?
EDIT: Here on this T2500 2.0GHz laptop, hulu desktop in full screen cruises at about 90% on both processors(88 - 92%).

Upgrade to Flash 10 or reinstall it. Make sure to grab the version for Windows and Internet Explorer.

It was hulu trhough a browser, but its not limited to just hulu. Try it on the networks streaming video pages its the same thing.
In fact, the only one that seems to work in fullscreen is youtube...
NBC, USA, CBS all choppy.
I'll get the other computer out in a bit and snap a screenshot of the task manager.
As I said it was a new laptop last week, but I'll grab the other version for IE also.
