Combination question/stream processors?

The two may be related and that is the reason for the "combination question".

Part A. I've been told that streaming, as in from Netflix, depends on internet speed as

much as it depends on your equipment. I get good play out of every site I use except

You Tube. When I go from the regular to the full screen everywhere else it works just

fine. But when I go from small to full on You Tube my screen freezes, starts and stops

endlessly....So...?

Second part which may be related.

I've forgotten most of the info that was said but...in an answer to a question on Yahoo

Answers a guy said that the amount of the stream processors determines the size of

the monitor that you can use. He said that a 24" and up needs more but that under

that you can just have...X amount of stream processors. Like I said I've forgotten the

number he said but of course it would take the larger number if you had two monitors.

My GPU is up-to-date and has 480 stream processors and my monitor says 22"

but is actually 21.5" and ASUS also not a cheapo. Could this be realated to the issue

on just You Tube and does anyone know where that cut off point is as I'm thinking

of adding a duplicate monitor.

The first reason for the GPU to begin/w is that the board has no on-board graphics.

    Part A) There may be something buggy about your video card, or driver, try updating the driver to the latest version.

    Part B) There is no direct relationship between the number of stream processors and the size of the monitors you can use. 480 stream processors sounds like Radeon HD 6670, and that card is perfectly fine handling two monitors up to 2560x1600, which is more than enough for today's monitors (most running at 1920x1080 or less).
