:(I have xp home and RAM is 386 and speed is 1.2

when watching youtube the sound is not good and sort of not very clear but when I adjust the PICTURE for smaller viewing the sound clears up and it is fine. I probably need a better audio codec. Is anyone having the same problem?

Assuming you're watching YouTube videos on a cable or DSL connection, there should be no reason your connection can't keep up. Slow YouTube videos seem to be a common problem, with YouTube video loading wait times becoming a problem that Google should be able to stay on top of. Without doing some network forensics to rule out your particular connection as the source of the slowdown, there's one free tool that should help make watching YouTube videos a smooth experience. I recommend installing SpeedBit Video Accelerator for YouTube, which pre-buffers videos and makes them playback in a more reliable way. As an added bonus, if you ALSO watch videos on places like MySpace and Facebook, you should see some improvement there as well.

Speedbit can be found here. http://www.topdrawerdownloads.com/download/104956

I also agree that adding some more ram would be a big help and not just with this. If you added another 512 you wouldn't believe the difference you'll see.
