somewhat slower rig, to my Q6600 and 4 gig of ram but for some reason
when im using my brothers pc i click on a video on daily motion or you
tube it loads super quick,and plays really smooth,can someone tell me
please why my Q6600 and 4 gigs seems to take forever to load ive
downloaded vista 64 codecs,but it still is very slow ,do you think maybe
its to do with my settings,all help much apreciated thanks rob.

Look for the bottleneck. Regardless of machine speed, the video cannot load
any faster than the slowest network connection point.

True - in this case, the OS (Vista) is likely the bottleneck. Note
that his Brother can load it quickly, assumedly on the same network
connection.

Guess I didn't think that they were on the same network, didn't see anything
in the post that implied that they were. If this is the case, then it's
possible one machine is hogging bandwidth (let's say someone found the
commonly known tweak in XP where you can increase the number of connection
threads). It's also possible that the user is trying to run 32-bit codecs in
the x64 version of the browser, which will likely not work too well.
