I'm able to watch youtube decently on my PowerBook 15" (Mid 2004) using Flash 10 and Roccat* Browser.
Its specs are:
Mac OS X 10.5.8
1GB RAM
160GB HDD (Split with 10.4.11 install for classic)
1.5GHZ PowerPC G4 7450
As for HTML5 on TenFourFox, that actually performed worse than Flash 10 under Roccat browser, even when I lowered the quality to 144p or 240p.
I will test HTML5 under Roccat and see what the results are.
*Roccat is a Modern Browser based on Webkit that is still developed for PPC macs that run OS X 10.5.8, it's a nice web browser, and isn't very resource intensive.
