​
Just to add my 2 cents, I have an AMD quad-core (645) processor-based
computer that runs Ku flawlessly, including all versions since 12.04 which
was when the system was built. Also have an ATI graphics card. OTOH, I have
an older Dell Intel system I use occasionally, with Intel on-board
graphics, and it's a nightmare with Chrome and with Flash. Even in Firefox,
Flash is choppy and slow.  With Chrome, it will even occasionally cause a
kernel panic or otherwise freeze. No such issues on my AMD...

I think likely there are other issues at play here.​
