Why cant I watch youtube HD videos.

Hi guys, been trying to watch some HD videos on youtube and for some reason they are not watchable on my old and by todays std low spec PC,

If I try to watch one of these videos, ie in the 1080 setting my pc does not play them just a pixelated picture, if I try the same video at its lowest setting 360 and the smallest viewing screen it will play but in a jerky fashion,

I am running XP P3 900mhz, 384mb ram, Nvidia Riva TNT mod 64 Graphics card, Internet is from Virgin at 10mb.

I wonder what is my problem is I suspect I may need a more upto date PC,

How important is the Graphics card for viewing the likes of Youtube and footage from a camcorder I wonder.

Nick.
