2011 MBP 13" Graphics Performance

I was watching some online videos and the graphics could not keep up. I have very fast bandwidth at 15mbps down so I'm pretty sure it's not the connection. I also noticed when I do the Expose thing it lags. Is there a fix for this? Or is the Intel HD Graphics 3000 just that bad. I'm thinking about returning the 13" and go with the 15" just to get the AMD Radeon graphics card.

MacBook Pro 2011, Mac OS X (10.6.6)

Wow. I'm loving mine, and haven't noticed a problem like that.

From experience with slower Macs, I know that closing all applications except the browser you're running the video in can help.

Also, just because your internet is supposed to be 15 Mbps, don't count on getting that.

Mine is supposed to be 16 Mbps, but last weekend there were a couple of periods that I was getting less than 1 Mbps. You can check your ISP's performance at http://speedtest.net .
