So I tried lots of tweaks on Openchrome driver but did not have much success. Also tried lowering the screen resolution but strangely either I have the default monitor resolution (1920x1280 if I'm not mistaken) or the pc just won't boot. No need to say that I had to rename or delete
a lot of times from Ctrl+Alt+F1 command line access.
And weirdly with Vesa driver things work much better. So I set the driver to Vesa by creating the file
with these contents:
Then I set screen resolution to 1280x800 and the final result was very satisfactory indeed. I.e. I can browse on Facebook without any freezing problem, no problems on Youtube and fast video loading and normal playback. It's still not perfect in fullscreen video playback but it is satisfactory and perfectly watchable.
And it's from far the best performance on a P4 with 512 MB of ram that I have ever seen!
Thank you all for your help.
