Strange. I have a K6-2 400Mhz wkstation with XF86 4.0, Matrox MGA G200 AGP card
and 128M RAM, and it didn't drop many frames from the movie trailers I used to
test it from the disc that came with the player. I don't know if they are the
same quality as the actual DVD movies or not though. Your player is using PIO4
which causes the CPU to wait a lot and causes it to be the gateway from memory
to DVD and vice versa. Mine is using UDMA2.
