Your CPU is too slow to handle 1080p playback.

You can try using the Adobe Flash 10.1 prerelease which in theory can help you by enabling GPU acceleration. No clue if the Intel GMA you've got is supported though.

It is prerelease software so expect weird issues.

Even with GPU acceleration, it appears that you laptop CPU/GPU is too slow to handle 1080p.

Ah nice. From the article I linked, they had the dual core version of the CPU you've got and had some issues with 1080p playback. I guess the newer Flash beta or your Intel drivers have improved since then.

"Flash Player 10.1 beta 2 was released on December 17, 2010 and is available for download."

Wait. Lemme check my calendar again...
