I tried Chrome as well and it was just as bad. The laptop came installed with Vista. It played fine in the earlier years of use when it was still new, but afterwards it became bogged down with bloatware from my sister using it. I had the exact same problems as you with lag and cpu usage. Take...

I took your suggestion and I'm using the 11.1 version you have. Had to disable a few things to keep the warnings from appearing. Works like a charm now. There actually is a slight difference in video quality between 10 and 11. I didn't have luck with Palemoon. I tried 12 and the latest version...

More ram is incoming. I tried a 1080p video from the hard drive with VLC and it played fine, but if I tried HD on vimeo or 1080p on youtube the stuttering kicks in overdrive. Yes, it's on home premium 32bit with everything already set to bare minimum. I'm hesitant to hand off this laptop to...

I'll give Flash 11 and Palemoon a shot and see how it goes. Thanks for all the input guys.

You've piqued my interest in Xubuntu (I've never strayed from Windows). Looks simple and lightweight after watching some youtube vids. I'm just worried I'll be setting myself up for a world of hurt when my sister comes at me with a hundred questions on why it's different/how it works. I'm not...

Thanks a ton for the help, jo. It's definitely a playback issue. I downgraded Flash from the latest 11.9 to 10.3 and it helped tremendously. I was still experiencing hiccups in playback every so often vs it being every few seconds on 11.9. I then tried disabling the plugin-container.exe that...

I just reformatted my sisters 6~ year old laptop since it was running at a crawl and freezing after just an hour of use. I went from Vista to Win7. Now it's running smooth and fast relative to its hardware age and doesn't freeze up any longer, but I'm having trouble streaming videos online...

I only played Lineage 2 on private servers through 2004-06. Even then when I played on a 5x exp server it was still a bitch to lvl. I don't know how you retail players do it. Sounds like Darkfall Online is right up your alley. No character lvl, just skill progression. Open world pvp with only a...

You could try out the FFXI private servers... You can get your nostalgia kick while progressing through the game much faster with the higher exp rate. I played in retail back in 03 and replayed it on a private server about half a year ago. Back then there was only a couple hundred people on at...

Since you're in Korea you can probably get the QNIX QX2710 cheaper than on ebay at its current price of $300~. http://www.overclock.net/t/1384767/the-korean-2560x1440-pls-monitor-club/100_50...

I just started playing this a few days ago. I'm loving the fast pace action and the game is by no means pay2win. I'm sad to see it doesn't have as large of a following as the other flight simulators. It peaks at about 2k and drops off to 1k at night.

Here's a Slate article trying to piece together who is who with comparisons of the film and real life. http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2013/01/14/zero_dark_thirty_fact_vs_fiction_who_are_the_real_life_inspirations_for.html

I feel she was shafted at the Golden Globes as well. Argo was a good film, but ZDT was the better film in all respects.

For those who haven't seen it yet. Anand did a review of one of the Korean monitors. http://www.anandtech.com/show/5885/the-achieva-shimian-qh270-a-350-27inch-wqhd-sips-display
