You can set priority more certain processes. At least I can in Vista. Not sure about XP. But try right-clicking on your browser in the processes tab under task manager. There should be an option to set priority. Set it to low. Then set your video play to high. Also, while your at it, look for any programs that are sucking up system resources. Like an anti-virus program. End those programs. End ones that are taking up CPU usage and such.
Also, are your SpeedFan temps idle, or load? It might be helpful to buy a can of compressed air and spray out your computer real good. Dust creates heat. And when your components are running hot it will impact performance.
