Something tells me that you won't be able to watch these on a old Pentium 3 laptop with 128 MB of RAM like you could with the low rez YouTube videos.

That should make PC manufacturers happy... since those folks who only use their 6 year old computers who surf the web and play solitaire will finally have a reason to upgrade!

Yes absolutely, but I think it's a bandwidth issue more than anything else.

Yea, me too, but this machine is old,(1.7, 1 gig) so I'll try it on my newer (3.0, DC, 2 gig) and see how it goes, but it looks like a bandwidth issue..

easy to test. just pause, let it buffer the video.

How does one find the HD videos? I don't really think sifting through the entire YouTube content database is the most efficient way. :p
