I've only just picked up on this thread, but my experience with a
*600MHz* G3 iBook is that it can't keep up with playing DVDs and xine
eventually gives up with a message that the CPU is too slow. It is
however possible to play a DVD on OSX -- so presumably Apple have access
to some features of the graphics chip that ATI won't tell about.
