Slowest machine you can use for DVD playback


Using Slackware 9.1 and kernel 2.4.22 what is the slowest machine anyone has gotten DVD's to play back on decently using, say, XINE?
The machine I would be using is a Intel Celeron 433 mhz, 288 mb of RAM and a 64 mb Nvida graphics card. Any thoughts?

Your machine is fast enough. Just be sure ro enable DMA for your DVD drive.

I will say that without DMA enabled my Celeron 1.0GHz was REALLY choppy, but quite smooth after DMA access.
