Slow Flash video playback on NVidia GeForce 6200

So my main rig is being rebuilt this weekend and is sitting in parts right now. So I a fired up an old rig collecting dust. It is a Pentium 4 2.66 GHz machine with an NVidia GeForce 6200 video card.

Everything works fine video-wise - the desktop interactions are quick, I can play Call of Duty 2 in a decent quality mode with good frame rates.

However, I cannot stream YouTube or any Flash based videos at a decent rate. Also, those pop-over adds on some websites seem to be slow as well. Downloaded .FLV videos play just fine in VLC Media Player.

I've updated the video drivers, codecs and Flash to no avail.

Any thoughts?
 
Yes, GF6200/6600 has no support for H264 video acceleration, I don't think.

First NV cards to support that were 8000-series cards.

Either that, or they are the minimum supported by Flash Player for hardware acceleration of flash, one of the two.

It is sad when I can play back downloaded 720p video files without a lag, but be bogged down when trying to watch streaming 480p YouTube videos.
 
Try disabling hardware acceleration in Flash. I have a 6200TC and can play 480p just fine. Though I do have a E6300.
