Graphics Is No Good
My ASUS P4S8X-MX works okay but, it can't play youtube and other video clips smoothly, and doesn't open WEB pages and pictures quick as it should. I install a new 1001 BIOS, update all possible drivers.., it has 2,6 GHz HT CPU, 1GB PC3200 RAM, checked with ASUS_v9400 AGP Graphic Card, no any improvement (all components checked on ASUS P4P800 and works just perfect). What else could be and I didn't checked? Thanks

That sounds like it would be about normal for that configuration. The culprit would be having only 1GB of RAM and a low end graphics card. Upgrading to 2GB of RAM (which is the max this board supports) and a higher end graphics card would help. It is a very old system though so I wouldn't expect perfect performance especially with HD videos or Flash (YouTube videos).
