Just a small FYI note, if you're still running an FM1 rig (surprisingly, still somewhat popular, due to price of new items on ebay), that's a dual-core A4 or the like, and wondering why 720P Twitch.tv is stuttering, trying dropping in a quad-core FM1 APU instead. I used an A6-3600. With 8GB of DDR3-1600, an SSD, and Windows 7 64-bit, it now streams Twitch.tv sufficiently well.
It wasn't my machine, so I didn't do extensive testing. I don't know if it can do 1080P YouTube or not. The connected display wasn't 1080P.
Edit: I can't wait for availability of the AM4 Athlon 200GE to improve, I will snag a decent A320 board and one of those ($100 total), and an 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4-3000 kit (another $80), and possibly an M.2 SSD ($100 for 512GB NVMe), and upgrade this person's rig. They should be impressed. (*)
(*) They would be forced to upgrade to Windows 10, though, as the Raven Ridge APUs don't work with Windows 7. At all.
