Two problems. No it isn't your video card, as it's not doing any processing while watching videos, just drawing it onto the screen.
Your problem is with your CPU, and OS.
Non-64 bit OSes can only see 3 gigs of ram tops. Some can see 4 through a motherboard setting; but I don't think this is the problem, as I've seen 2 gb machines play 1080p.
I think the problem you are having is with your CPU. I have a 2.5 GHz Pentium 4, and I have the same problem as you. Your CPU can just not keep up with the sheer amount of data that 1080p contains.
For example:
1280 x 720 = 921600 pixels
1920 x 1080 = 2073600 pixels
100 x (921600 / 2073600) = 44% more pixels than 720p.
Your CPU just can't take it.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
