DivX ;-) plays flawlessly on my 450 MHz PIII under Linux -
at least via the graphics card. I would not be surprised
if that works under windoze as well.
AFAIK, if you want to play it via the DVB card, mplayer 
tries to re-encode it to MPEG on-the-fly, which is 
obviously a very demand task. Are you sure THAT also
works with a slow machine under windoze?
