Video can be choppy on older netbooks, especially if you're bold enough to try for full-screen HD Flash video. However, Adobe's new Flash Player 10.1 with GPU acceleration, now in beta, has been proven to crank video quality on machines with slimmed down processors.
Flash Player 10.1 even draws upon the power of Nvidia or ATI graphics cards in order to decode video from YouTube or Hulu, so if you dropped cash on more powerful graphics your money won't go to waste.
PCWorld set up an interesting side-by-side comparison of Flash 10.1 video quality using both IE and Firefox. You should check it out.
