On TiBook G4 400, when playing iTunes, the Visuals provided don't run smoothly, but run in bursts or jerky, much the same way DVD's might without much memory installed. Like there might be if there were no type-ahead buffer on a keyboard delay�

This Book has 384 meg of Ram

Has anyone encountered this on a 400mz or 500mz Book or have a solution?

I thought more memory might help.

Thanks.

Well, I've got 25 MB allocated to iTunes on my Pismo 500, and when I don't have other apps visible, I get around 20 fps large (not full screen). It doesn't seem jerky. When I run fullscreen, I close other apps, and I get similar framerates. No similar experience here.

Turn off virtual memory in the Memory control panel and reboot.... that eliminated the jerky playback on my ti 500
