How many Watts? Some video/audio programs are more intense about system resource use than others. Especially video. 1.5 Ghz isn't bad, but it's not 3.2 Ghz for instance. 512 MB isn't unlimited ... Onboard video isn't a video card ... Doesn't the TV tuner card use system resources like the onboard video also does? For best information I always suggest using a free download that details system information in a case like this: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/everest.html Post again with any additional information that you can provide after viewing the report, perhaps. That program does give recommendations in key areas if it finds conflicts/deficiencies. It also details much more. -------------------- patiently patrolling, plenty of persisant pests n' problems ...
