I can't watch videos on my macbook PRO

Hello all.

I heard there is a very new technology called stream VIDEO, but i can't manage to get to watch them on my macbook PRO 2009 ( I guess pro stands for professional) I know that my computer is old and watching videos is very hard for computer but i wonder if there is any tricks to get to watch them.

I am so sorry to complain about my apple computer, even owning an apple makes me a unique and classy person. Is there a way that i can watch videos online? When i do, it is very choppy 0.5 fps for seconds or so.

Thanks
