A 2.4 GHz machine with a decent grahics card should have no problem with displaying full screen video, if you are using the XVideo extension. For mplayer try '-vo xv' on the mplayer command line, or put 'vo=xv' in ~/.mplayer/config. For VLC choose tools->preferences, and in the dialog window check "Accelerated video output" in the "Video" tab. It sounds more like a network issue. (you can confirm that if you can play files from a local disk without hiccups) Maybe increasing the buffering might help.
