    I have a Dell Latitude CPx laptop, obviously an old one. Everything is working fine, the only problem I'm having is when I try to watch a video on Youtube or ESPN, the playback is very choppy, to the point that it's almost impossible to see what's going on. What could be the problem? Is it just too old? Video card needs to be upgraded? Driver issue? What can I do to solve this problem? I would appreciate any help. Thanks!

    It's just too old. I had a CPt in the before time and it struggled even to play sub-VGA video. Youtube didn't even exist back then. Depending on what you have now, a processor upgrade could get you to the point of being able to play online content, but I doubt it.

    Yeah, unfortunately, it's just too old. There isn't a whole heap you can do to it to get better playback.

    Just curious, what specs is it currently running?
