Default Allocate RAM to video memory?

I have an iBook G4.

1.2ghz
768mb RAM
32mb graphics card

This thing is pretty much useless to me since it can't really handle much of anything besides aim and firefox, but youtube just plain sucks on it.

Is there any way I can allocate some of my RAM to video memory so youtube can run a little more efficiently? I can't imagine the 1.2ghz proc or the RAM is too low to run youtube, so I cant help but to blame the video card.

From what I know, I would say there isn't a way to do it. Then again, I'm not a mac expert, I just own one. Lol.
