    AMD Athlon 64 X2 L310
    ATI HD 3200
    4GB RAM

    Everything is up to date... drivers, flash, etc... all the latest.

    I can't watch 720p videos on youtube... 95%+ CPU usage.. stuttering.. etc...

    How does that guy with asus 1201n netbook outperform my laptop? I realize my laptop's specs aren't the best, but with flash 10.1 it should be able to handle youtube hd without any problems right?

    NVidia ION that is why.
    While 1201n have crappy CPU, it got a GPU that is officially supported by Flash 10.1, ATI HD 3200 on the other hand is not a officially supported GPU.

    Sorry for being the bearer of bad news

    Are you by any chance running windows 7 64 bit? I found this made my youtube performance worse.

    The HD3200 is officially supported. It's in the release notes.

    The problem is it's still Flash 10.1 release candidate, still buggy. I can't get the RC to work with my Intel 4500MHD, but Beta 1 works great.

    That's what I figured, but anzguyphan says otherwise. I guess they recently added support for the 3200?
    Yes I am. Ideally I can get this to work fine on win 7 x64.
    Do you have a link to beta 1?
