What kind of computer works best for online videos?
All computers running with a 486 or above processor running Windows 95 or above have the capability of showing streaming video. The faster the processor you have and the more memory you have will make your system run faster — streaming media will work better on a faster system. Macs can also run streaming video, but some of the earlier operating systems have problems with different versions of the media players. There is a new version (released in 2001 – Ver. 7.1) of the Windows Media Player that works very well on the Mac with OS 8 and above.
