Question Play DVD at full speed

Is there any way I can play a DVD on my AMD k6 533 MHz without having frames dropped? The computer has a built-in video card (Trident CyberBlade i7), but I don't think it is suited for proper DVD playing (that and the drivers aren't the best).

Trident not the hotest video chipset on the market.. usually low end and low memory..

Do you have another PCI video card laying around that's a bit better ?
Matrox MIllenium/Mystique, ATI, Old Nvidia TNT card ?

I have an old Mac Matrox card, but other than that, no (I think it has 4 MB of VRAM). I am kind of restricted in that my computer doesn't have AGP for add-on video cards. The built-in Trident video card is on an AGP bus, though.
