Hey guys, watching the flames on Gamecenter in London and I am finding that my computer can only stream the 400kbps stream smoothly. it is the lowest possible setting. I have watched full games at my school on their lab computers which are very low end and have had quality of 1200 and up.

Does anyone have any tips, or things I should look into in order to remedy this? I am going to try testing my internet speed (should be up to 10mbps from rogers), I think my drivers are up to date (looked at nVIDIA site last night), and have been constantly updating windows.

I am using a bit of a dated machine, just reformatted last night as well:

DualCore AMD Athlon 64 X2, 2000MHz (10x200) 3800+
DFI nF4 Series MotherBoard
nVIDIA nForce4, AMD Hammer Chipset
2GB DDR2 Ram
HD 4850 512mb video card (new)
nVIDIA MCP04 Audio Adapter
Dual layer DVD reader and writer
200GB C:
320GB H:
500GB Z:
2x500GB Externals
