This is encouraging. However, are you using 64bit or 32bit version?
The 32-bit version - and using the same cpu as your son has (3200+)
I've always noticed stuttering watching flash on my 64bit system under 11.0 and I have the default kernel installed(which would make sense since I'm using 64bit and you don't use PAE when you are running in 64bit mode - actually, not sure why the PAE is even offered). I'm debating upgrading this one to 11.2(except for KDE4 - still don't really care for it - have it on my son's AthlonXP 3200+ and it's still so much differenct from KDE3).
Don't let kde4 worry you. You'll get used to it in minutes. The only thing is *not* to Enable all the desktop effects and save lots of cpu cycles in not running all the eye-candy. Also, download and compile the nVidia driver from nVidia. Makes a BIG difference. The "default" excuse for an nvidia driver installed by 11.2 only gave me ~136fps (using glxgears), the compiled driver (190.42) gives me ~3660fps.
