Q: Flash, Hulu, Youtube on an old Titanium powerbook
Hi - I have a friend who has an old Powerbook Ti from 2002 that has OS X 10.3.9 (I believe it's Panther) on it. It has all of the updates from apple software update.
She wants to be able to view videos from Hulu, Youtube, etc. but finds that the viewing is choppy. I looked into downloading the most recent version of Flash, but it says that it is not supported with this older software. Is there a way to find an older version of flash that will work.
What is my best course of action here? to update to Leopard OS X 10.5.6? Will this older hardware suppport the most recent version of the OS? Would any hardware components...i.e. the older graphics card, etc. be the problem?
Any help or thoughts would be much appreciated,.
Regards,
M.
