Hello, 
My name is Sriprabha. I would like to know the minimum processor speed requirements for playing VCD (MPEG 1) movies using MPlayer with an optimized performance. 
We are using the following: 
Processor: Cyrix MediaGX with MMX 1 support 
Processor Speed: 233MHz 
Linux: Redhat 7.1 
Xfree86 Version 3.3.3.1 (4.x version did not work out well) 
We tried Mplayer and and it seemed to be too slow. With framedrop option and/or fullscreen option, the smoothness was highly reduced. 
Please let me know your suggestions regarding the minimum processor speed requirements as far as MPlayer is concerned. 
Awaiting reply 
Thanks in advance 
Sriprabha
