Not sure if this was mentioned earlier, but if a G5 owner is looking to navigate and playback Youtube content under Leopard with zero config/tweaks, then the latest version of WebKit (604) does a great job out of the box.
720p playback is perfect on my Dual Core 2.3Ghz G5 (~120% CPU usage when in Fullscreen).
720p on my Dual Processor 2.0Ghz G5 drops a few frames, but is totally acceptable (~165% CPU usage in Fullscreen). 480p is perfect on this machine.
I imagine a single CPU iMac G5 would playback 480p well like this, but not 720p.
