Arctic Fox PPC + mobile YouTube useragent override + View script + mplayer G3 = full speed 3gp video viewing on my Wallstreet PDQ. The View script has framedrop and other options set to facilitate this. Regular browsing with the same browser isn't all that painful, especially with colors set at 16 bit.

The same setup on my 800 Mhz iBook G3 can play 360p ("HQ" in mobile YouTube) video.

If it is an iBook or an iMac it's very simple. It will boot with installing from a supported mac, or a simple clone. Or Xpostfacto. These macs only need the installer tricked

Beige G3s is a but more of a pain, and requires XpostFacto. I had a helluva time getting Tiger on my Beige mini tower.. But it works.

@swamprock which version of mplayer is that? I'm having trouble trying to compile the latest version (1.4) and the last pre-compiled version for leopard is pretty unstable.
