Sorry, but the speed of your broadband is irrelevant.=20 You can show the resolution and format of YouTube videos with: youtube-dl -F http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DUS3Px2sePWk (package is net-misc/youtube-dl) Decide whether or not you need a new PC and make a new post - = UEFI/secureboot is irrelevant to poor YouTube performance.
