Did you install Flash 10.1 Public release on an older system and now flash video plays even worse? Yeah, I put it on my old AMD Athlon 3600 single core XP box with an old GF 5600 4x AGP card and it is lag-0-ramma! :o

So, I used the Flash Remover Tool for Windows and then installed Flash 10.0.45.2 and the old GF 5600 is liking flash once again. Still pegged at 100% cpu, but it’s fairly smooth again. ;)

Well, in case you’ve never seen it, Adobe has an Archive page for all their flash releases for use on older legacy systems for when things go a touch wrong.  They break it down by series number: 10,9,8, etc. If you select Flash 10, you will get a zip file that has every public release of 10-10.1. Each will have Windows ActivX (for IE) & Plug-In (for netscape and FFox), Solaris, Mac and Linux.

Anyway, here are the links.

flash Flash 10.1 Beta on Acer Revo 3610 Updated Version

Flash Beta 10.1 now has an updated version. They have gone from version 1p to 2p as of December 17, 2009.  Nvidia also updated their Ion video driver to to a 195.81 Beta.

Though, some users of these latest beta releases on Ion machines have claimed to have lower overall quality of playback. Some had dramatically lower quality. I hope to test both out here real shortly and post some updates.

And since Boxee  Beta now supports Flash and Silverlight GPU acceleration, this is a match made in heaven!
