Hello, I am considering purchasing a toshiba libretto 110ct with a pentium 233 mhz MMX processor. Is this speed/processor fast enough to play mpeg video and DVD movies from my hard drive, assuming I have _no_ hardware acceleration at all ? I want to use this small notebook for watching movies on planes, etc. (among other things) and am wondering if the CPU is up to the task. Previously I had tried video on a 166 mhz MMX and was not successful. Any comments are appreciated - especially regarding how well it will work. Even if it _technically_ works on a 233 mmx, if the playback will be spotty and bad, it's still not worth much... thanks!
